Clos Bagatelle Saint Chinian Blanc 2024

13.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

An expressive, nose of almonds, ripe pears and leafy, herbal aromas with a hint of bergamot. Lovely mouth-feel, elegant and linear with proper structure and weight. Fine and complete with mineral finesse

This wine is made from a blend of 50% Vermentino, 30% Grenache Blanc, 10% Carignan Blanc,10% Roussanne. 60 year old Carignan Blanc vines grow in limestone soil, almost 50 year old Grenache Blanc vines in schist soil. The Roussanne and Vermentino vines – merely 15 years old – are grown at higher altitude in sandstone soils.The Roussanne is grown on a plot bought in 2003, situated on a high plateau with a very particular terroir of grès rouge (red sandstone) and chalk. The wines produced here have great finesse and vivacity. The grapes were gently pressed in whole bunches without destemming. The juice was settled after 36 hours at 4°C. Fermentation was at low temperature (16°C) for 8 days then a part of the wine was aged in new oak barrels for 2 months with daily stirring of the lees. The malolactic fermentation took place in casks. The last stage of ageing was in enamelled steel vats.

North of Béziers, in the Languedoc, the countryside becomes wild and beautiful in the area around Saint-Chinian. The 60 hectare property of Clos Bagatelle is located on the outskirts of the town and wine has been produced here for nearly 400 years.The domaine had been passed from mother to daughter for five generations when Marie-Françoise, the mother of the current owners, took over the property and set about renovating the vineyard. New vines were planted, two new cellars were installed alongside the 18th century original and she was the first to extend the limits of the estate by purchasing land in the tiny neighbouring Muscat appellation of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois. During a period when few people believed that Languedoc wines could improve with time, she set about crafting ageworthy wines to lay down.Since 1995, the next generation, Christine Deleuze and her brother Luc Simon, have continued the family tradition; adding the Donnadieu and Assignan vineyards to the family holdings and producing wines of great character. Everything is hand-picked and sorted and there is minimal intervention in the vineyard. Christine, dynamic and clearly passionate about her wines, is working hard to increase the sustainability of winemaking at Clos Bagatelle.
