Description
90% malbec 10% merlot, A village blend from all three terroirs: clay, limestone and kimmeridgian. De-stemmed, maceration 15 – 30 days, 12 months elevage in concrete and old barrels.
The year 2022, despite its succession of heatwaves and its small and concentrated grapes, offered expressive and radiant wines, delicate and full. Trespotz, a blend of terroirs from plots of old vines, is slender, expressive and fully mature without losing any freshness.
From the Producer: “On our plateau with draining and sloping lands, water is rare and constitutes a real source of wealth. The three original sources of the village gave it its Occitan name of Trespotz: “the three wells”. This village cuvée comes from three distinct subsoils which each bring their signature: the width of the siderilithic red clays, the elongation of the Kimmeridgian limestones, the immediacy of the marls. Through this blend, we want to faithfully capture the character of the wines of our commune: lively and ripe juices, chiselled by cool nights and hot days, with a silky structure that is forgotten.”
