The terroir and natural, low-intervention winemaking methods give Chardonnay an intense, complex expression, with toasty, flinty notes and the long, saline finish of a great white Burgundy.
The excellence of Château du Clos is expressed in this exceptional cuvée, produced every year, vintage permitting: only a dozen or so wines, the best in the cellar, from the oldest vines. This cuvée pays tribute to Léonard CHANDON, ancestor of the COMBIER family who owned Château du Clos and whose brother Gabriel married Adélaïde MOET, the founder of the famous Champagne House of the same name. 1er Cru POUILLY is located in the heart of Pouilly, a hamlet of the village of Solutré-Pouilly, which gave its name to the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation as the cradle of the production of the great white wines of the Mâconnais: as early as the 18th century, Chardonnay was already being cultivated here, producing wines with a reputation comparable to those of the Côte d'Or.
