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

2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of
frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme
heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool
nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success
of this vintage.

Harvest

02 Octobrer - 20 october 2021

Tasting

A bright, limpid purple colour with hints of violet.
The intense nose gives off aromas of very ripe red fruit, with cherries predominating.
The attack is clean and direct, giving way to a generous fruitiness and a lively freshness that structures the wine nicely. Despite moderate mid-palate volume, the constant tension and slightly firm finish provide a stimulating salinity. This is a lively, thirst-quenching vintage, with an appealing balance between controlled acidity and fruity sparkle, promising immediate drinkability and a fine development with a few years' cellaring.
