Info about the situation
Tiny Clos directly at the city walls (remparts) of Sancerre. On just 0.14 hectares, rootless Sauvignon vines grow.
Color
Rich yellow with clear green reflections.
Nose
The 2016 "L'Enclos des Remparts" presents itself already in the nose with exuberant richness and beguiling fragrance. Papaya, green mango, lemons tossed in salt and wild herbs combine with stony compactness and cool minerality.
Palate
The fullness of fruit and power of the nose catapults the 2016 "L'Enclos des Remparts" beautifully onto the tongue. Its juicy density interwoven with delicate honey notes and lots of melting combines with a fine acidity and extremely stimulating structure. Its long finish is marked by complexity and spice. Nothing for the immediate enjoyment, but a treasure for every well-stocked wine cellar. The impatient drinker is advised to decant it with sufficient lead time and not to enjoy it too cold from large glasses.
