Tasting Notes
Garnet red colour, slightly animal roasted undergrowth note. The palate is silky lively complex and rich. The tannins are present grainy without astringency. The texture is chalky and the finish is long.
Method
Organic Cabernet Franc from the AOC Saumur Puy Notre Dame. The grapes grow on Turonian clay-limestone and are hand harvested. Wild fermentation with 6 week maceration, chaptalization and no additives. The wines ages for 12 months in French oak barrels of 300 liters, aged 10 to 15 years, then 4 months in mass in concrete vats. A small amount of sulfites are added just before bottling in the Spring following aging.
