Tasting Notes

"The 2012 Clisson came from a 1ha parcel of 67 year-old vines planted on sand above granite. The 2012 was the first vintage of this cuvée with extended lees ageing; subsequently it has been made in 2013, 2014 and 2015. This vintage was fermented and aged in underground vats for 48 months with lees stirring twice a year - in spring and October before the start of winter.

A well-defined, concentrated nose, augmented by notes of sea shell. A softly textured style with an exquisite harmony between creamy lees, citrus intensity and the stony influence of the vineyard's granite soils. Weighty in the mouth with a pronounced thrust of minerality. An impressive and imposing wine. Drink 2017-2029"

The Producer

Vignoble Drouard

This family business, created in 1878, is run by the 5th generation of the Drouard family. Passing the winegrowing tradition from father to son, the four brothers – Jean-Paul, Laurent, Denis and Pascal – tend to this magnificent Domaine located in the Maine river basin in Château-Thébaud, near Nantes. The company has recently been strengthened by the arrival of Clément and Tom, representing the sixth Drouard generation.

The vineyard is composed of around 80 ha of vines divided into about ten 'islands', most of which are less than 2 km from the winery. With 3 great terroirs, and a wide range of AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée), Muscadet, IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée), Val de Loire, white, rosé, red and sparking wines.
