Villa du Clos

Villa du ClosThis crisp, refreshing dry white wine comes from Stephane Vedeau's vineyards south of Carcassonne. Stéphane heads up a youthful team on his 50 hectare estate where enthusiasm is the order of the day!Stéphane fastidiously tends his 50 hectares of vineyard all year round with the sole aim of producing the best quality fruit that reflects a true expression of their individual terroirs. All the vines are cultivated with regard to the environment and so no herbicides or pesticides are used. Spreading his wings, he consults for other vignerons throughout the Languedoc and bottles some of the wines where he advises, like this one, under his own label. The results are beautifully crafted, concentrated wines that are wonderfully complex and handsomely structured.He is an advocate of "lutte raisonnée" (literally the "reasoned struggle") and so he farms conscientiously using pesticides or chemicals only when observations justify intervention.
