Luc explains that his 1.5 hectare plot used for Clos des Quatre Vents occupies the 'best spot at the top of the croupe of Margaux'. The vines are some 80 years old and 'are planted in a deep gravel soil on plots that are ideally exposed to the four winds. This wonderful situation ensures the grapes freshness and purity'. Again, vinification is completed in thermo regulated cement tanks before the wine is aged in 100% new oak barrels. The harvest took just two days. Luc and his team decided to make a small green harvest in July and de-leafed the easterly side of the vines. Luc described the fruit as 'very clean' at harvest time and the results in glass are sensational. Wonderful floral perfume, mineral with lots of crème de cassis, crème de mûre and griotte cherry fruit. Texturally, this is supple, refined, svelte and deep but has plenty of grip to keep. This again is one of the stars of the Margaux commune, outshining most of the established names. Kudos to Jacques Boissenot and Luc for another great success. 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 75% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
