Clos du Tue-Boeuf VdF La Petite Guerre 2024

$2999

A wine that nearly didn't happen: rain swamped the Guerrerie parcel at harvest in 2024, the Puzelats threw away much of what they picked, and what survived spent just two days on the skins. What came out is 90% Cot (Malbec) with 10% Gamay at only 11% alcohol — light, perfumed, and about as far from a chewy, tannic Malbec as the grape gets. Clos du Tue-Boeuf sits at Les Montils, south of Blois, where Thierry and Jean-Marie Puzelat went organic in the 1990s and built one of the foundational estates of natural Loire wine, working with native yeasts and almost no added sulfur; Thierry's daughter Zoe has now joined them. There is very little of it. Serve it cold and drink it young.
