Clos Des Fous 2024 Mr. Chile

Tasting Notes

Clos des Fous 2024 from Chile typically shows the house style: purity, tension, and a sense of place over power. The wine opens with bright red fruit—raspberry, wild strawberry, and tart cherry—layered with subtle herbal tones like fresh thyme and dried rose petals. On the palate it’s lean, energetic, and mineral‑driven, with a cool‑climate lift that brings crunchy acidity and a faint saline edge. Gentle tannins frame the fruit without weighing it down, allowing notes of cranberry, pomegranate, and a touch of orange zest to carry through the finish. There’s an earthy undertone—wet stone, light forest floor, and a whisper of smoke—that adds complexity without sacrificing the wine’s signature elegance. The 2024 vintage feels particularly vibrant, emphasizing finesse, freshness, and a long, quietly persistent finish.
