Winery: Domaine du Clos de l’Elu / Anjou
An old-vine wine that was aged in clay amphoras, this is a ripe, honeyed, gently oxidized wine. This aging gives a lift to the pineapple and green plum fruit flavors that are shot through with acidity. It’s a rich wine both from the oxidation and from the really ripe fruits. Age this complex wine until 2019.
