Description:
Founded in 1973 by Paul Suzzoni, this vineyard covers 39 of the 95 hectares that comprise the estate. Since 1986, Etienne Suzzoni, Paul's brother, has been at the helm of the enterprise. Le Clos Culombu is situated between the Gulf of Calvi and the Montegrossu mountains, whose peaks reach 2000 metres and the vineyard has direct southern exposition; there are 15 hillside parcels and vines are planted in arena-shaped granite formations on terraces of clayrich soils. Situated only 2 kilometres from the sea and 8 kilometres from the mountain peaks, the vineyard enjoys a very particular micro-climate. The varietals planted are Vermentinu, Sciaccarellu, Niellucciu and Elegante. The soil is worked in the traditional manner and minimal weed killer and chemicals are used. The yields are kept low to maintain quality by de-budding and bunch-thinning of grapes. A typically aromatic wine combining notes of citru, fresh grass, herbs and almonds with a crisp acidic framework, this white is soft in the mouth with a touch of verbena and lime. (6 x 75 cl)
