The estate and the wine |
|
|
David and Sophie Devynck have revived 4 hectares of very old vines, surrounded by forests and dry stone walls. Their Clos Sauvage Estate is a preserved enclave, on the border of Burgundy and Beaujolais; perched at an altitude of 450 meters, on granite soils sprinkled with clay-limestone, cultivated organically, this little piece of paradise emerges to create intense, understated, and authentic wines. |

The 2022 red Saint-Amour Cocagne is an ultra-favorite wine of the Selection Committee, from the highest point of the appellation, on a vineyard planted in 1941, where the soils of blue stones offer the utmost in minerality and freshness. Aged for a year in barrels, this Gamay produces a juice of high intensity, ripe, smooth, with coated tannins, carried by great freshness and a saline resonance, with a noble woodiness that is well-suited. It is a wine for immediate enjoyment but also has a good aging potential, among the great successes of the vintage. Rated 95/100 by the Selection Committee. |
