Le P'Tit Blanc VDF, 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).
As with all Thierry Puzelat's whites this is pressed and decanted directly into old barrels for ageing on the lees. Tangy Sauvignon, naturally fermented – orchard fruits (green and yellow plums and cherries) with enlivening "currantiness."
