Chateau Guillot-Clauzel

This has lovely floral notes and aromas of truffle. It’s broad and expansive on the palate, almost velvety, but then has a slight chalky bite at the end and some saline, mineral notes. Really intense and delicious.

Chateau Guillot-Clauzel 2023	94-95 James Suckling This is really like a Burgundy in its nature and sensibility. Medium body with a round, creamy texture and flavors of plums, redcurrants and spices. It’s long and caressing. Minerally at the end. A beauty. 83% merlot and 17% cabernet franc. 94 Wine Advocate Guillaume Thienpont harvested the 2023 Guillot Clauzel a few days later than Vieux Château Certan, as is generally the case, and he has once again produced an excellent wine, redolent of dark berries and cherries mingled with hints of rose petals, pencil shavings and mint. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, it’s supple and refined, with a vibrant core of fruit and a long, pure finish. It’s once again a blend of Merlot complemented by 17% Cabernet Franc. 92-94 Vinous The 2023 Guillot-Clauzel is gorgeous. Fresh, floral and medium in body, this is all class from start to finish. Since taking over winemaking for this small, two-hectare property in 2018, Guillaume Thienpont has really dialed in the approach. The denser, oakier winemaking of the first few years has evolved into an approach that seeks to exalt the finesse this site is capable of. The 2023 is really quite delicious.
