AOC Bordeaux

Presentation

For a brand which seeks to evoke the intrinsic aromas found in grape varieties, producing a sulphur-free wine seemed like an obvious choice. This style of winemaking returns to the basics and reveals brilliant, fresh fruit aromas and flavours. The result is a very special, a clear-cut cuvée, cherished by our winemaking team.

The wine

Varietal

Cabernet sauvignon : 100%

Alcohol content

13% vol.

Weather conditions

2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.

Harvest

09/28/2020

Tasting

Attractive cherry red colour, with some darker reflections, close to garnet.
The nose gives off delicious notes of fresh fruit such as cherry, raspberry, but also morello cherry and blackcurrant, combined with a hint of spice.
Starts out smooth on the palate, with very fresh, juicy fruit flavours (cherry, raspberry...). The attractive finish is underpinned by notes of Morello cherry. The eternal optimist, best served chilled.
