Closerie Saint Roc Les Noyers 2021

This small, enclosed estate, which sits on clay soils and a fossil-rich limestone subsoil, was used as a store, offering vegetables and wine to the soldiers from the two warring camps. Centuries later, Alex Anglebin (1807-1902), an ancestor of the Amoreau family, winegrowers from “Le Puy”, rediscovered this land that had been acquired by his wife’s family. He brought the estate back to life, working the vineyards which were mainly planted with Mourvèdre and Colombard grapes. Towards the end of their lives, Alex Anglebin and his wife sold the Closerie land, which thus moved out of the family. In 2013, Pascal Amoreau (14th generation of the family) was on the lookout for outstanding terroirs and bought the Closerie land. He decided to rename the estate “La Closerie Saint Roc” as a tribute to its history. But La Closerie Saint Roc was, above all, an opportunity for Pascal and Valérie Amoreau and Harold Langlais – partners in the project – to revive a part of local history and express their winemaking talents by producing outstanding wines. La Closerie Saint Roc comprises 16 hectares in the production area of Bordeaux and Côtes de Bordeaux in the municipality of Puisseguin. The vineyards are at a height of around 90 meters. The vineyard has an average age of 35 years and a grape variety of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils, with little soil on the rocks, benefit from a mainly clayey-limestone subsoil on a limestone base that offers considerable acidity and minerality.
