Market Insight: Bought by Ausone in 2014 and sitting on some fairly hallowed terroir just off the limestone plateau, La Clotte seems to have everything in alignment for a serious profile boost. The 2019 is as yet unscored, which for something so new adds a degree of frustration, but it would be surprising if this didn't rapidly take off. L&S (May 2021)

A very minerally La Clotte with lots of sea salt character. It’s medium-bodied with a brightness and firmness. Lovely fruit and intensity. Drinkable, but give it at least three to five years. Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2023)

The 2020 La Clotte exudes depth and is intensely packed with dark red cherry, plum and blood orange fruit. Today, La Clotte is incredibly primary, with terrific fruit density but less in the way of aromatic complexity. That’s probably a very good thing for its long-term prospects, but readers will have to be patient. It spent 18 months in 100% new French oak, and there is some oak that still needs to integrate.
