Guillame Clusel Trabouls 2018
FranceBack in the 1950s, René and Joséphine Clusel began cultivating vegetables, fruit trees, and Côte-Rôtie vines. Like many other farmers in the Ampuis region, they sold their wine in bottles, and at a time when Côte-Rôtie wines were mostly unknown, René Clusel’s Côte-Rôtie was popular with connoisseurs. The estate is currently run by Guillaume Clusel, Gilbert Cluse, and Brigitte Roch. The vines cover 20 hectares across three historic vineyards in the Lyonnais, Ampuis (AOC Côte-Rôtie, AOC Côtes-du-Rhône et Vin de France), Condrieu (AOC Condrieu), Millery (AOC Coteau du Lyonnais). Traboules has nothing to do with syrah, but rather by taking advantage of the decomposed granitic soils that lie south of Lyon, winemaker Guillaume Clusel has given us a juicy red-fruited, frankly delicious drop of gamay that walks the line between silky textures and bright acidity. Ready to drink, it is a perfect match for chicken or veal.Tasted: 30 August 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $35.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
