100% Cabernet Franc. The vieilles vignesΒ in this case range from 50 to 100 years old and are scattered multiple parcels on clay-limestone soils. Certified-biodynamic farming. The bunches are harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel with a 20-day maceration. The wine is aged in steel for a year and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration. Sulfur use is modest.
This bottling is a library release that was aged in the winery's cellar since bottling and just recently arrived in the US. Here are some notes from the cellarmaster:
2016 |
Sunny summer. |
Lots of red and black fruits. Still young for a 10+ year old wine. |
Β (in a blind tasting I would say itβs vintage 2020) |
Silky, fresh, long palate and finish with spices and pepper. |
Potential pairing: Grilled lamb, roasted chicken, aged cheeses, pork tenderloin |
