Closeries des Moussis, Haut-Médoc, 2022
Closeries des Moussis is a small, highly regarded estate run by Laurence Alias and Pascale Choime, two winemakers who have brought a low-intervention approach to the Left Bank. Their vineyards in the Haut-Médoc are farmed organically and biodynamically, and their cellar work is restrained, giving Cabernet-based blends that feel both classic and distinctive. The 2022 vintage shows the warmth of the year while staying true to the estate’s focus on balance and clarity.
The wine offers aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dried herbs, with subtle notes of graphite and cedar. On the palate, it’s focused and well-proportioned with ripe fruit supported by fine, polished tannins and a clean finish that reflects the precision of the farming. It’s an elegant expression of the Haut-Médoc, delivering the character of the region with a lighter touch and excellent drinkability.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Appellation: Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Farming: Organic, biodynamic, hand-harvested
Style: Red. Balanced, aromatic, and approachable
