CLOS DE FOUS BLEND GRAN RESERVA "CAUQUEQUINA" - 2015 - CHILE

Product description

Clos des Fous is a unique and innovative project based on Pedro Parra's research experience in terroir and Francois Massoc's experience in Burgundy. With the aim of presenting wines lower in alcohol, with a more subtle character and with Alsace and Burgundy as models, they decided to go against the common knowledge of the Chilean wine industry. This knowledge established and inspired by the style of typical California wines, considers Limari, Casablanca and Leyda, as the best regions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But P&F were not looking to produce wines of high graduation and bold personality. With this goal in mind, Pedro and Francois began exploring the unexplored south of Chile in 2005.

While Chilean wine professionals assume that southern Chile (Bio Bio and the Malleco region) is an unsuitable region to produce high-end wines - due to its sunny weather, Pedro and Francisco find the perfect terroir, which they consider key for your purpose After years of investigation and trial and error process, they finally found what they believe is the most promising terroir for Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay throughout Chile.

Clos des Fous is about terroir, it is about extreme terroirs in Chile: tall wines, coastal wines, facing the Pacific Ocean, or southern wines from Malleco, 700 kilometers south of Santiago, the “Chilean Oregon”.

The name of the project, "Le Clos des Fous", which translates from French as "Bodega de los Locos", is there to remind us of the challenge and risk that this project encompasses, cultivating Riesling and Burgundy grapes in an unexplored area, considered So far inadequate for quality and high-end results. Clos des Fous has proven otherwise!
