Clos Des Demoiselles 2009

Clos des Demoiselles matures its 2.4 hectares of old Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the south slope of the Puy de Menjon, highest point of the Medoc.

After belonging to the same family since 1820, the estate was taken over by Jean Chanfreau in 2002. He has since risen to the challenge of expressing the unique character of this deep Pyrenean gravel terroir.

The produce of this tiny vineyard, planted mainly with Merlot, is vinified with passion by Jean and Marie-Helene Chanfreau, in order to express the finesse and the balance of its wine. The grapes are hand-picked when perfectly ripe.

The wine is matured in oak barrels until it is bottled and can finally reveal the marvellous character of its fine gravel terroir. This well-balanced wine develops charm and richness early in the bottle, allowing it to be enjoyed
