2023 Chateau Closiot Bordeaux Blanc Chardonnay old vine bottling of CabernetThe eight hectare estate has parcels of century old vines on the enviable Clos Bonneau, where the soils are red clay with classic left bank pebbles atop. Planted mostly to Semillon, there is also Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.
