Presentation
Presentation
Sulphur is a long-standing companion for the winemaker; it allows him to produce products with great stability over time and to develop great aromatic complexity, while keeping them away from deviant paths. It can, however, be perceived as counteracting the natural expression of the wine. With this cuvée, we decided to free ourselves from it in order to rediscover the original purity of the fruit without nature depriving man of his creation: the art of transforming the grape into wine.
Location
This Chinon without sulphites is made from a selection of our best parcels of Cabernet Franc on the right bank of the Vienne.
Winemaking
After an early morning harvest, the grapes are quickly vatted to allow a rapid start to fermentation, where the carbon dioxide will naturally protect the fragile aromas from oxidation. After a gentle extraction of more than 3 weeks, this fruity fresh Chinon is delicately aged.
Varietal
Cabernet franc : 100%
Advice
