Le Clos
€ 16
Available
A single walled parcel, ringed by tuffeau stone and dotted with fruit trees — old vines in a small closed ecosystem. Half the wine rests in 300 L barrels, half in sandstone amphora: the wood rounds the tannin, the clay keeps the fruit taut. Unfined, unfiltered, 10.4% alcohol. Serious Chinon without the weight.
Producer: Domaine du Trait · Appellation: Vin de France (Chinon, Crouzilles) · Grape: 100% Cabernet Franc · ABV: 10.4% · Organic (Ecocert), unfined and unfiltered

Domaine du Trait
The home estate behind Honorie. In Crouzilles, in the heart of Chinon, Hadrien Boucard and Erwan Leteurte work their vines with a draught horse — organic, patient and free of artifice. This is where it all begins.
