Description

This is a new cuvée, an estate wine called after the named place from where the grapes come, where a plot of Cabernet Franc and Grolleau Noir grow side-by-side.

The soil is clay on schist and the vines are approximately 25 years old. The wine is made from grapes of 50% Cabernet Franc and 50% Grolleau Noir.

The grapes were destemmed and then macerated for a week prior to pressing, then aging on their lees for 10 months in a tronconique oak tank.

The Grolleau Noir was picked first and the Cabernet Franc added the next day. It was bottled in July 2024.

In weight it sits somewhere between the Cabernet Franc cuvée and Bisou. The tannins are noticeable but fine and restrained and the wine is lively, fresh and has juice with aromas of black fruits.

ABV 12%. Total sulphites approximately 28 mg/litre. Certified organic
