Clos des Briords is one of the most rock-solid and beloved values of French wine.
Clos des Briords takes Muscadet close to its Platonic ideal of jagged saline minerality.
All of this goes a long way in explaining why wine lovers of all stripes go deep on each vintage of Briords.
There's a beautiful honesty to Briords. You might find more powerful and richer Muscadets, but Briords is unrivaled when it comes to luminous transparency and cut.
It's very rare that we get to offer Briords in magnums due to the quantities available. I'm happy to have this opportunity to offer magnums of the 2022 Clos des Briords.
The 2022 Briords is a deeply layered expression of the wine. Underneath the stone fruits and ripe citrus is a core of Briords' piercing minerality.
The Clos des Briords’ inherent purity, detail, and scores of chalky saline minerality only show better out of magnum. Don’t underestimate this format’s importance: the larger bottle means the wine is exposed to less oxygen, so it evolves more slowly and evenly. A decade should be no problem for this 2022 out of magnums.
