Wine Details
At the top of Mount Muzard, just behind the château, there was once a castle built in the 1100s and destroyed in the 1500s. Local history says vines have always grown here.
Today, the Clos du Château sits surrounded by pine trees, cooled by shade, stone and altitude. A tiny walled clos, protected from the outside world, producing what Louis calls the wine that “keeps the DNA of the terroir, no matter the decade.”
And you can feel that seriousness immediately.
Oyster shell, lemon flesh, green apple and flint come first, then a richer wave of peach and stone fruit underneath. There is a brilliant saline line running through the wine, giving it drive, grip and that quiet, deeply satisfying sense of completeness.
It feels generous, but never heavy.
Serious, mineral, bright and complete. The kind of wine that makes you understand the whole château in one glass.
The Plot
Clos du Château is a walled monopole at the top of Mount Muzard, just behind Château de l’Étoile. Surrounded by pine trees and cooled by shade, altitude and stone, it is one of the estate’s most protected and distinctive sites. Local history says vines have grown here since the time of the old castle, making this a vineyard with both real presence and deep memory.
Technical
This is 100% Savagnin from the Clos du Château monopole, one of the château’s most important sites. The vineyard’s cool, protected position helps preserve freshness, while the old vines and walled setting give the wine its depth, density and mineral structure. The result is the most complete wine in the range: bright, saline, serious and deeply expressive.
