Product features : Clos des Menuts 2018 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Breeding
12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, imparting aromatic complexity and silky texture
On the eye
Deep garnet robe with ruby highlights
On the nose
Intense aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, with liquorice undertones and subtle spice. The bouquet develops with aeration, revealing further complexity and gentle oak influence.
In the mouth
Well-defined tannin structure supports ripe red fruit flavours—plum and cherry—with cocoa and vanilla notes emerging in the finish. The wine maintains good balance between power and refinement throughout.
Clos des Menuts exemplifies Saint-Emilion's capacity for elegance and depth. Its equilibrium between structure and finesse reflects genuine terroir expression rather than extraction. This is a wine for those who appreciate Bordeaux's classical proportions—neither over-oaked nor under-developed. Worthy of serious cellaring, though approachable now.

CLOS DES MENUTS
Nestled at the foot of the ramparts of Saint-Émilion, Clos des Menuts covers 25 hectares of argilo-calcaire and sandy-clay soils in one of Bordeaux's most celebrated appellations. The château's history stretches back to 1538, and since 1956 the Rivière family has guided it with quiet consistency, blending a dominant Merlot (85%) with small proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to produce structured, terroir-driven reds. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the reliability of its wines across vintages, the remarkable medieval monolithic cellars carved beneath the town, and the Rivière family's commitment to HVE certification. A sound, characterful Saint-Émilion for those who value history in the glass as much as on the label.
