Domaine Clos de Mez

Clos de Mez is a family estate run by women for three generations, and now managed by Marie-Elodie Zighera. The almost 6-hectare vineyard produces wines in the Fleurie and Morgon appellations.

Most of the soil at Clos de Mez consists of granite broken down into pink sand called "gore", and some parcels in the Fleurie appellation are set on steep slopes. The Clos de Mez philosophy is based on a single conviction: "70% of the quality of the wine depends on the quality of the grapes". Since 2006, we have been working the soil, controlling yields through strict pruning and disbudding, and harvesting the grapes exclusively by hand. The average age of the plots is 40 years, and they are planted with Gamay Noir with white juice. Marie-Elodie Zighera uses her knowledge as an oenologist to understand the know-how of her elders, and to offer an authentic wine of character and ageing potential, without superfluous or exuberant aromas!
