Pascale Choime, a non-conformist to the bone, was a gifted oenologist who worked for a Cru Bourgeois in the Haut-Médoc while moonlighting as an artist and sculptor until she slammed the door on a wine world that has lost its way due to commercial constraints. Laurence Alias was an agricultural engineer whose true passion is for ecology and sustainable development. Her desire to touch the earth rather than spend her days alone in a laboratory talking to her computer got the better of her in 2009. That was the year these two women founded Closeries de Moussis, a micro-estate in Arsac in the Haut Médoc born of a determination to work their land differently from their neighbours. A project fuelled by a love of wine and nature, a devotion to a very old, very special parcel of grapevines, and a thirst for independence and freedom of action. The wines produced here have no oenological additives, except occasionally a little sulphur at bottling, and the purity and precision of their juice only continues to grow.
Minimal sulphites
On notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, prune, leather, undergrowth, pepper... The palate is tannic and structured without being in any way drying, the aging is perfectly integrated, it is a wine worth waiting for, you’ll get a beautiful tasting in a few years. Decanting is recommended.

First vintage for this cuvée of great elegance carried by black fruits, Earl Gray tea, a little oak perfectly melted to this luscious nose. The palate is deep, beautiful volume with tons of length and noble aromas. Be patient, it will reveal itself in a few years.

A complex nose of prunes in brandy and notes of undergrowth... Palate: serious structure, beautiful length and plenty of fruit... A major success for this winemaking duo.
Sulphites-free wine
A wine from another planet, an oxidative delicious Sémillon, powerful nose with notes of candied orange, beeswax, fresh herbs, peat. Palate: a dry wine with exceptional length, to be paired with a Comté. Lhasa is the name of the girls' golden retriever, who appears on the label.

Moineaux is, as in 2018, a Margaux that has not been "approved" by the AOC certification board... Probably because it is too delicious! On notes of red and black fruits, spices... Subtly tangy palate, digestible, very beautiful supple substance, long finish.
