Wijngek Anatole de la Brosse verliet de financiële wereld en kocht Domaine des Closiers in 2019. Hij legde de lat hoog en nam een vliegende start. Het gemanicureerd Domaine des Closiers zal snel het firmament van Saumur Champigny, een paradijs voor Cabernet Franc, betreden. Michel Chevré van Clos de l’Ecotard begeleidde de overstap naar bio en inzichten in élevage kwamen uit gezegde hoeken. Het prachtige perceel Les Coudraies is een toonbeeld van Saumur Champigny op calcaire. We verwachten veel van deze Grand Vin in wording. Precies en verfijnd. Naast het glas staat een bord. Les Closiers is bijzonder nuttig: denk aan wit (varkens- en kalfsvlees) en rood vlees (tournedos), gevogelte (chapon, pintade, kwarteltjes). Heerlijk ook bij kalfslever, niertjes, steak tartare, tajine... Kazen als Camembert, Langres of Mont d’Or komen spontaan in gedachten. IN DE PERS 92 Rebecca Gibbs - vinous.com (Juni 2022) While light in body, the 2020 Les Coudraies is a seductive style that enters with a certain amount of juicy fat and then pow! It reveals itself fully in its salty, taut and firm with a limestone-derived freshness and chalky texture. You can expect excellent purity of fruit, transparency and a certain delicacy as it floats through the mouth which is surprising when you find out the alcohol is 14%. It's really rather good if you like your wines precise and taut and considering it's only the second vintage from this former consultant. It's one to watch. Drink 2022-2035. In 2019, Anatole de la Brosse, a Champagne native and business consultant in Paris bought a domaine off a retiring vigneron. The vendor had always sold his grapes to negociants and he didn't have a single employee, working the 15ha of vineyard alone. De la Brosse attempted to do both his job in Paris and revive this Saumur-Champigny estate but in 2021, dedicated his life to his vines and has a small team as well as a consultant, Michel Chevré of Clos de l'Ecotard. The vineyards are in organic conversion and biodynamic farming is practised. The winery has also been kitted out with new equipment. There are three cuvées: Les Closiers, a blend of parcels, Les Coudraies, a parcel with a small elevation fermented in stainless steel and barrel - the barrels are ex Château Haut-Brion. The Trézellières is matured for 24 months in oak (1/3 new) and will be released in January 2023. One to watch. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
