Clos Saint-Vincent - Vino di Gio Blanc 2007
Notes: Gault Millau 17/20, RVF 16.5/20
"Richer and more Burgundian in its aging style, the 2007 Vino di Gio white is full-bodied and complex on the palate..." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2010 - RVF). This 100% Rolle cuvée, with a production of fewer than 800 bottles, is among the appellation’s rarest wines. Its excellent terroir, consisting of pebbles mixed with very light-colored sand, combined with superb exposure, allows the grapes to ripen perfectly. Crafted with the utmost care by Gio Sergi, this is one of the finest expressions of the grape variety and one of the most striking demonstrations of this micro-appellation’s potential.

Rated estate (2012 guide): 5* Stars (Outstanding production)
About the estate:
“Acquired by the Sicardi and Sergi families in 1993, Clos Saint-Vincent has undergone several changes, notably its transition to biodynamic farming. The vineyard, situated on a siliceous-calcareous terroir with Pliocene pebbles and puddingstone, benefits from the dual influence of the sea breeze and the cool air currents descending from the southern Pre-Alps. Cultivated with the utmost care, the grapes (Roll, Braquet, Folle Noire, etc.) yield a delightful expression of the Bellet appellation—which is capable of producing some of France’s finest white wines.”

About the estate:
“Joseph Sergi cultivates this 5-hectare micro-vineyard with all the dedication of someone who loves wine and its terroir. The vines are tended with care, and the estate now practices biodynamic viticulture. Winemaking is meticulous, with a large portion of the fermentation taking place in oak (muids and demi-muids), followed by ambitious aging. This can sometimes explain the (noble) reductive notes in the first few years in the bottle, particularly for the whites, which require aeration before serving for both cuvées, Le Clos (aged for 12 months) and Vino Di Gio (aged for 18 months).»
