Michel Gahier, Arbois Rouge Trousseau Le Clousot, 2024
Le Clousot, a younger-vine Trousseau from a southwest slope beneath Grands Vergers, represents an approachable entry point to Gahier's red range. Though lighter in color and structure, it carries vibrant mineral freshness and subtle smokiness, with a hint of reduction and light CO2—signatures of its spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak foudres. After a short four-week cuvaison and 18 months of elevage in neutral oak, it emerges unfiltered and unfined with no added SO2. Perfect for understanding Trousseau's potential at modest bottle age.
