Clos Saint-Vincent - Vino di Gio Red 2006

Clos Saint-Vincent - Vino di Gio Rouge 2006

Rating: Gault Millau 17/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, RVF 16/20
“In a fairly cool vintage, the wine displays a refined, racy, and long-finishing palate. The tannins are elegant and full-bodied. ” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve) - “The Vino di Gio red is also concentrated and velvety, with a rich body yet retaining freshness and a subtle structure. Power, character, and elegance, without excess.” (Gault Millau des Vins 2010)

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 currents descending from the southern Pre-Alps. Cultivated with the utmost care, the grapes (Roll, Braquet, Folle Noire…) yield a delightful expression of the Bellet appellation—which is capable of producing some of France’s finest white wines.”

Rated estate (2012 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

“Joseph Sergi tends this 5-hectare micro-vineyard with all the dedication of a true lover of wine and its terroir. The vines are meticulously cared for, and the estate now practices biodynamic viticulture. Winemaking is meticulous, with a significant 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). »
