Domaine Clusel-Roch

In Guillaume Clusel's view, “2019 might look more extroverted early than 2018, which has good acidity and, actually, solid structure.” By comparison the 2019s have plenty of underlying tannins but the fruit is more expressive and even fresher, he said, “and that hides the structure when the wines are young and can trick people into thinking that they won’t age.” In 2018 Clusel-Roch is introducing its first new lieu-dit bottling in some time, from Champon. Roughly 3,000 bottles will be made in a "typical" vintage, Guillaume told me. All of the 2018s here are scheduled to be bottled at the end of June 2020. One-third whole clusters are typically used here, across the board.
