Clos de Fous ‘Locura 1’ Chardonnay 2024

Clos des Fous is an exciting project between four Chilean friends: Pedro Parra (the viticulturalist), François Massoc and Paco Leyton (the winemakers), and Albert Cussen. ‘Fous’ is the French word for ‘crazy men’, a reference to what their peers described as their ‘craziness’ in crossing the traditional vineyard boundaries of Chile to source grapes from vineyards in the extreme conditions further south and east. The winery is based in Maule, to the south of the main vineyard area, where the ‘Fous’ make an enviable range of top quality varietal wines.
