"The 2014 version of Le Clos Guillot is everything one would expect from the confluence of a great wine and a top rate vintage. The wine offers up an aromatic constellation of great purity and promise, wafting from the glass in a blend of sappy black cherries and cassis, a fine base of gravel, gentle notes of tree bark, cigar smoke and a topnote of chicory. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very refined in profile, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent soil signature, ripe, well-integrated tannins, impeccable balance and a very long, focused and nascently complex finish. This is more suave out of the blocks than the equally fine 2013 Le Clos Guillot, but despite its elegant personality, it too is a wine for the cellar and I would advise at least five or six years of cellaring to allow this wine to really stretch its wings."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
