The 2024 Château Closiot ‘Le C de Sec’ Bordeaux Blanc is a beautifully fresh and mineral-driven dry white from the Barsac-based estate of Clément and Mélanie Fayat. Produced primarily from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc grown on the limestone and clay soils surrounding Barsac, the wine focuses on purity, tension and texture rather than overt aromatic intensity. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered alongside white flowers, fresh herbs and subtle wet stone notes, giving the wine impressive lift and precision.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, supple texture and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate savoury complexity are balanced by saline freshness and chalky tension, finishing crisp, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and drinkability. The cool freshness of the vintage enhances the wine’s clarity and linear structure while preserving generous fruit definition.
