The Producer
Le Clos du Notaire is above all a story of people and passion. Owned by Amélie Osmond and Victor Mischler since 2015, this property has long been cultivated as a vineyard garden adjacent to a family home. This estate has traversed the decades in relative discretion. The current owners have chosen to take over this heritage with the desire to restore its rightful place, respecting the soul of the place and the work of previous generations, while bringing their own sensitivity.
Located on the right bank of Bordeaux, Le Clos du Notaire rests on clay-limestone soils that favor wines that are both structured and elegant. This terroir, naturally balanced, allows the Merlot to express itself with precision, offering wines with aromas of ripe fruits, supported by freshness and beautiful tension. The human scale of the vineyard allows for careful observation of each plot and particularly meticulous work.
Today, Clos du Notaire is supported by its dedicated owners, present daily in the vineyards and at the cellar. Their approach aims to be respectful of life, with organic certification since 2022 and constant attention to detail, from the vine to the bottling. The vinifications are conducted with precision to preserve the purity of the fruit and the identity of the terroir, giving rise to sincere, elegant wines that are deeply rooted in their history.

Tasting
Mono-cépage de Merlot, ce vin est sans soufre ajouté ce qui lui confère une couleur plus intense que les autres vins et une profondeur aromatique très intéressante. Issu de parcelle à l’état sanitaire impeccable, cette cuvée est vinifiée tout à fait traditionnellement afin de respecter au mieux les arômes du cépage et le terroir dont il est issu. Vin souple, fruité, frais et juteux, à boire sur sa jeunesse.
