Le Clos du Fou is the product of an unlikely plot, perched on a south-facing hillside, created over fifteen years ago by Michel Louison, who demonstrates his uncompromising dedication—sometimes tinged with a touch of madness—to drawing out the very best from his terroir. This cuvée brings together Syrah and a terroir composed of 100% pure schist, where power and finesse, length, and velvety smoothness come together. A must-try!
