Now in his thirties, Guillaume Clusel has taken full control of his family’s domaine although his parents, Brigit and Gilbert, are still fully involved, especially in their impeccably tended, bio-dynamically farmed vineyards. I’ve noticed increased elegance and detail in these wines since Guillaume’s growing presence (not that the wines ever lacked finesse in the past – they have long been among the most graceful of the appellation.) Indeed, these 2016s are the best collection to ever emerge from the family’s cellar. Clusel told me the calling card of the 2016 vintage, aside from its energy “is its floral character, as pronounced as no other recent year.”
