ChĂąteau Closiot Barsac Les Dames de Bonneau 2022
ChĂąteau Closiot covers eight hectares, making it one of the smallest in Barsac (for comparison, Climens has 30 hectares and Coutet, 18). The vines sit on the Clos Bonneau, an exceptional terroir where red earth dotted with pebbles rests on the Barsac plateauâs typical limestone base. Notably, the soils are relatively cool, imbuing Jean-Marie Guffensâ wines with mineral steel and freshness to offset the late-picked fruit. Surrounded by Climens, Doisy-VĂ©drines and Coutet, the clos is planted almost exclusively to SĂ©millon, complemented by Sauvignon Gris, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc. It includes a generous four-hectare parcel of 100-year-old vines.
Les Dames de Bonneau is made only in years where Jean-Marie Guffens can work with the purest botrytis. Made from a draconian and meticulous selection harvested at the very beginning of November, the grapes were pressed in Guffenâs traditional vertical press and aged for 18 months in oak barrels. The result is one of the most intense and mesmerising Barsac/Sauternes wines of the vintage.
