2019 Pays d'Oc

Die jugendliche Purpurfarbe ist schon einmal animierend. Im Bukett ein eher dezenter Beerenduft. Auf dem Gaumen Dank harmonischer Säure und sanftem Tannin von erstaunlicher Eleganz, mit Aromen von dunklen Beeren und einem Hauch Veilchenpastillen...

Das Weingut sagt zu diesem Wein:
“Le Vin des Amis” Ever since our wine was first bottled on the estate (‘88 vintage) we have kept a little cuvée that we sell mainly to friends and family.
In 1989, having been on a fact-finding trip to the Loire Valley, we planted a small plot of Cabernet Franc at the bottom of the slope in our valley.

TERROIR:
Unlike the hillsides, with their thin soils, the bottoms of these slopes contain richer, fresher soils with fine clays and Trias sandstone.
The Cabernet finds the water it needs to reach a good level of phenolic maturity without the grapes becoming too fat.
Acidity is always interesting on this type of ‘terroir’. Yields are very consistent from one vintage to another, without the need for bunch thinning.
The Syrah comes from a neighbouring ‘terroir’ on a greater incline.
A new plot planted in 2014 ( third harvest) reinforces our production. Produktion: 4300 Flaschen.

Rebsorten:
95% Cabernet Franc, 5% Syrah, Yield (Ertrag): 28 hl/ha.

Weinbereitung & Ausbau: The grapes are hand-picked, fully ripe but not overripe. They are then fully destalked and fermented without the addition of extra yeast.
They rarely stay for more than two weeks in the vat as we want to avoid too much extraction of tannins and pips, which are found in large amounts in Cabernet Franc.
Rather short vatting time to limit “the young vine” characteristics.
The wine is matured exclusively in the vat and the Cabernet Franc and Syrah are blended early. The wine was filtered slightly before bottling in September 2020.
