Cheverny Rouge Rouillon, Clos du Tue-Boeuf 2022
Clos du Tue-Boeuf
Since the Middle Ages, there have been records about the lieu-dit “le Tue-Boeuf” and its excellent wines which were enjoyed by the local nobility and the kings of France. The family name Puzelatz is mentioned in 15th century documents. Jean-Marie and Thierry Puzelat tend their 10-hectare family estate in Les Montils (in the Cheverny AOC) and rent 6 hectares in a village nearby, in the Touraine AOC. Since the 60’s, the Puzelats’ father had been making his own selections of vines to replant, and left them with vines of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Menu Pineau (or Arbois), Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Côt (or Malbec).
Shows bright, floral tart plum, raspberry and wild strawberry aromas with citrus and earth. The palate is ripe with wild strawberry, plum skin, earth and spice. The finish is long with citrus and mineral flavours and a bit of tannin.
