Château La Clotte 2007 made Decanter Magazine's 100 best value wines for 2010! Some praise indeed and one of the best 2007s that we tasted on our field visits.

Nellie and the team are extremely reliable and consistent in every vintage, which is particularly pleasing and comforting when you have tricky conditions, such as 2007; and make no mistake this is a lovely supple and great value Saint-Émilion made for early drinking.

Wonderful red berry and rosehip aromatics with hints of oolong tea, very seductive. The palate is packed with crunchy berry fruit, mocha and chocolate notes with a lovely fresh finish. Outstanding.

“A soft, seductive 2007…possesses front end loaded, rich berry fruit intermixed with cedar, roasted herbs, and soil undertones. Exuberant and medium to full-bodied with a hedonistic lushness as well as silky tannins...This wine has taken off in quality over the last several years, revealing a deeper richness and broader texture. La Clotte is under most consumers’ radar, and the tiny production of 1,200 plus cases makes it difficult to find.” eRobertParker.com
