93 / 100"The Clos de Frémine sits across a country lane from Clos de la Hutte, so it's a similar climate; however, at Clos de Frémine, the wine is lighter, more sandy with brighter light. The 2020 is a delicate, almost quiet wine that has a line of acidity that is like a taut wire. There's a silken, airy mouthfeel with delicate pineapple flavors and nectarine, which suffuses the mouth on the long, mineral finish. It gives the impression that it has a low pH due to its tangy acid and salinity, but the pH is actually at 3.6, which is rather high all things considered. Rather attractive."

Tasting Notes
This site adjoins Clos de la Hutte separated only by stone walls surrounding each Clos and a tiny road between and is planted to 1.5ha of vines from massale selection the original material coming from vines of more than 100 years old. Sloping towards the Loire with a fine cover of sand blown over the underlying schist over many millenia, this conveys a silky elegance to the resulting wine giving this wine more immediacy enabling this wine to be appreciated in its youth. Distinctive, pure and utterly compelling.
