More about the wine

This terroir wine project is all about hunting down unique soils and climates for certain varieties, and in this case it is Pinot Noir on sandstone with calcarious deposits. This complex Pinot has earthy aromas of talc and graphite with fresh red fruit and spice, and a saline, mineral finish — hinting at its proximity to the coast.

More about the winery

The terroir-driven wines of Clos de Fous may be named ‘Clos of Fools’ but this is actually a very smart set up focusing on making distinctive wines on some of Chile’s most interesting vineyard soils. The Clos des Fous winery is in Maule but the wines are made from grapes sourced in several different terroirs including Malleco, Itata, Bio Bio, Aconcagua Costa and Cachapoal. Soil specialist Pedro Parra and Burgundy-trained winemaker François Massoc are behind the location hunting for Clos des Fous, along with other founders Albert Cussen and Paco Leyton, and winemaker Felipe Cartes.
