Description
Medium weighted there is lovely savoury sanguine minerality with earth, leather and dried red fruits dominating the silky suave palate. A mineral undercurrent remains ensuring freshness and the grainy Cab Franc tannins come and go. Cabernet Franc in shape but Burgundian in emotion.
The soils are limestone, clay and sand with notable levels of iron. Grapes are hand harvested, sorted in the winery, destemmed and “infused” over a 3 week maceration in cement tank and then aged for a further 9 months (60% in cement, 40% in large wooden vat) without sulphur. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with a tiny dose of sulphur.
