Chilensk Corton! Ny hvid topvin fra Clos des Fous. 100 % Chardonnay - biodynamisk dyrket fra en lille parcel på 1/3 ha i Traiguen, der ligger i Malleco - Chiles køligste vinregion. Kontinentalt klima med en del skydække og regnfald giver intense vine med god friskhed og vindyrkning uden kunstvanding - præcis som det skal være. Vulkansk jordbund giver vinen mineralitet og nerve - årlig produktion ca. 1.000 flasker.
Kompleks og intens vin - næse med æble, ananas, abrikos, jern og røg. Smagen er fyldig, lang og vedholdende. Full-bodied og elegant på samme tid. Imponerende vin.
Til de bedste retter med fisk og skaldyr - pighvar, hummer osv. Gerne med smørbaseret sauce - fx brunet smør med ingefær. Flot vin også til kylling fra Gothenborg eller modne komælksoste.

Clos des Fous er et resultat af fire venners vision om noget helt nyt fra Chile. Med Pedro Parra i spidsen - Chilensk vins pt. mest indflydelsesrige person - udforskes nye og mere ekstreme terroirs, der gør op med Chilensk vins image som forudsigeligt, upersonligt og kedeligt.
Den nye vinmarksguru i Chile Pedro Parra kaldes ofte "Dr. Terroir" - et navn, han dog selv frabeder sig. Med en Ph.D i terroir fra Institute Agronomique Nationale i Paris er han den eneste terroir-specialist, der arbejder uden for Frankrig, og han har haft en enorm indflydelse på kvalitetsudviklingen i Ch...

The 2017 Dulcinea was produced with Chardonnay from a 2.6-hectare vineyard planted in 2010 in Traiguén in Malleco, in the south of Chile, that is dry-farmed and worked biodynamically. The soils are volcanic, and the zone has plenty of rain—900 to 1,200 liters depending on the vintage. It fermented and matured for two winters in French oak barrels, one-third of them new. 2017 was a riper year that gave them better yields (it's a new vineyard, planted in 2012) and resulted in a very good balance. The wine is spicy and smoky, very Burgundian, with a leesy character (it was kept with the lees without racking until bottling) and an austere, defined palate with a dry finish. Not quite at the level of the superb 2016, but very close. 2,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2019.

Indtagende duft af moden citrusfrugt og smør med ristet tone i baggrunden. Frisk og syrerig smag med god koncentration. Rigeligt fadpræg med brændt tone, men med fin frugtdybde.

The 2016 Dulcinea was produced from a dry-farmed vineyard planted in 2010 in Traiguén in the south of Chile. It's a fresh vintage with good weight, combining elegance and ripeness, always super tasty, elegant and long on the palate, in a subtle way. There is less oak than previous vintages, because in the beginning they had to use new barrels. It opens up in the glass, showing some reductive minerality not unlike some of my favorite whites from Burgundy. They have increased volumes here to 1,500 bottles. It should develop nicely in bottle. It was bottled in January 2018.

This is incredible with such complexity of dried apple, honey, straw and chalk. Full body, bright acidity and incredible length. Stone and intensity. Goes on for minutes. I am amazed. 2.5 hectares biodynamically grown...

The soil of the 2013 Dulcinea, a new top Chardonnay from Clos des Fous from the southern Malleco Valley, is volcanic tuff, and the wine is barrel-fermented with full malolactic. The nose transported me to Burgundy, more Corton than Puligny, with aromas and flavors of nuts and a salty, mineral finish; the wine is round rather than sharp and long. It's still a little oaky, and it should be better integrated in one more year. There is a smoky, nutty character here.
