Great sites for Merlot, such as Clos
Bourbon’s in Bordeaux, yield wines
with the grape’s signature roundness
but also a tinge of stony minerality.
What You Need To Know
In French, the word clos means a
property enclosed by a wall. An ancient stone wall over a mile long
surrounds Clos Bourbon, an estate 25 miles south of the city of
Bordeaux. Though the property dates to the 17th century, a new
era began in 1994, when it was purchased by a young couple,
the d’Halluins, who replanted the vineyard mainly to Merlot. Clos
Bourbon’s appellation, the Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux, is
an emerging area, making splendid reds from limestone and
marl-based soils.
