Merlot with some Cabernet Franc from Saint-Loubès, red fruit and oak, round and medium-bodied.
Red wine · Merlot, Cabernet Franc · Bordeaux, France · 0.75 L
Vintage: 2019
Grape variety: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Production: 12,000 bottles
Origin: AOC Bordeaux Supérieur, Saint-Loubès, France
Vineyard: Small family vineyard (2.24 hectares) on a gravelly hilltop with a clayey subsoil, located between Bordeaux and Libourne. The vineyards are traditionally farmed, with manual harvesting, defoliation, and thinning, similar to the practices of Grands Crus.
Soils: Gravel on clay. The soil drains well and stores heat, which suits Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
Climate: Temperate Atlantic climate with sufficient sunshine and rainfall, which led to a balanced ripening of the grapes.
Vinification: Traditional maceration in stainless steel tanks with temperature-controlled fermentation. Subsequent aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure.
Maturation: 12 months in French oak
Alcohol content: 13% vol.
Tasting Note: Bright garnet red with purple highlights. Expressive aromas of red fruits on the nose, accompanied by notes of old oak and floral overtones. Full-bodied and rich on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, spicy development, and a harmonious, traditional character.
Food recommendation: Ideal with beef, game dishes or mature cheese.
This cuvée was awarded the Gold Medal at the 2023 Concours National des Vignerons Indépendants and received a 1-star rating in the 2023 Hachette des Vins Guide for its balance and aging potential.
