Michel Gahier Arbois Trousseau Le Clousot 2023

'Le Clousot from Michel Gahier is a Trousseau that is lighter than the Grands Vergers, it is a paler colour but has a vibrant freshness and hints of smokiness. For those of youn who are enjoying red wines with a lighter touch, this is a very good wine for you. The 2023 is incredibly vibrant and exciting and represents a leap forward for this already amazing winemaker. It is made in exactly the same way as the Grands Vergers but the fruit is sourced from the youngest vines that Michel owns. Younger vines usually produce lighter wine styles of less complexity than older vines, but wines that are pleasant drinking nevertheless. It has a good structure, very good length and is quite juicy – hence is very drinkable. The ‘young’ vines are twenty years old and lie on a south-west facing slope.'
