2022 Domaine Clo L'Original Chardonnay Loire Valley...$19.99100% hand-harvested Chardonnay from the Loire Valley!!! Clear, bright straw-yellow color with greenish hues. On the nose, fresh aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus like lemon and grapefruit, with subtle floral notes of white blossoms. The palate is lively and refreshing, with crisp acidity and flavors mirroring the nose complemented by a touch of melon and a clean, mineral finish. This wine is balanced and medium-bodied, with a smooth texture and a pleasantly lingering finish.
This is an excellent companion to seafood dishes like oysters, grilled fish, and shrimp scampi. As well as light salads, goat cheese, and white meat. For vegetarian options, try it with vegetable quiches, asparagus risotto, or a simple tomato and basil pasta. Wine can be kept 4-5 years.
Loire Chardonnay? A true rarityChardonnay is not a traditional Loire grape,producers like Clo are breaking norms. When a winemaker like Clo chooses to bottle a Chardonnay from the Loire, it’s a conscious, non-traditional choice—often inspired by natural wine practices and a desire to express terroir beyond regulatory confines. Extremely limited in volume—only a few Loire producers bottle a still Chardonnay as a varietal wine.
40 Year Old vines - rare Gamay Freux 2022 Domaine Clos L’Original Gamay Fréaux...$22.99
40-year old Gamay Fréux vines, a darker-skinned mutation of Gamay. Whereas most red grapes have clear juice, with color coming from skin contact, the Gamay Fréux juice is naturally red, therefore it is considered a ‘teinturier’ (tinting) grape.
Deep purple in color from its naturally pigmented juice. Bursting with wild blackberry, black cherry, and pomegranate, complemented by floral notes of violets and a hint of spice. On the palate, juicy and energetic, with bright red and black fruit, soft tannins, and a vibrant acidity. A subtle earthiness and peppery finish add complexity. This is a fresh, lively wine with serious intensity.
Charcuterie boards with saucisson and pâté. Grilled eggplant, mushrooms, and roasted root vegetables. Lightly spiced dishes like lamb tagine and soft-ripened cheeses like Brie or Tomme de Savoie. Serve slightly chilled. Drink young for its fresh, vibrant fruit or cellar for 3-5 years to
develop more earthy and savory notes.
2023 Domine Clo Ephemere No.3 Cremant Brut Nature....$23.99
Pale gold in color with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of bright citrus & white flowers with hints of honey & almond. On the palate, this sparkling is elegant and vibrant with crisp acidity
and creamy mousse. Notes of fresh pear and toasted brioche lead to a long mineral-driven
finish. This is an excellent companion to fresh oysters, smoked salmon, soft cheeses, light poultry, vegetable-based dishes, roasted almonds or for a festive apertif or celebratory toast. Enjoy young or age up to 5 years for added complexity.
Méthode traditionnelle meaning the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle just like Champagne. Aging of 12-18 months on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity. Brut nature meaning it is bone dry with 0 grams residual sugar
