Vintage

The year 2020 was marked by a cool spring with delayed rainfall, which ensured that the vines had sufficient water reserves in the soil. Summer temperatures were high, but the well-ventilated and dry climate, along with excellent day-night temperature fluctuations, allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly, resulting in a late harvest.

Harvest

The grapes were hand-picked on 23 September 2020 and transported to the winery in small 4 kg crates by refrigerated lorry.

Vinification and Ageing

After the crates have been unloaded, the grapes are sorted on a conveyor belt. After the grapes have been destemmed, they are taken to the fermentation vessel where alcoholic fermentation begins at a controlled temperature of 26-28 °C, while the pulp and skins undergo maceration. Fermentation continues with precise maceration and délestage. Once fermentation is complete, the wine remains in contact with the grape skins for a further week. After the first racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, followed by approx. 12 months of ageing in new or second-use, fine-grained and elegantly toasted oak barriques. Bottle ageing: at least one year before being sold on the market.

Tasting Notes & Pairings

Deep reddish purple with purple tinges.

The olfactory power of Cabernet Franc explodes on the nose with marked hints of blackberries and floral and spicy notes accompanied by subtle pyrazine and balsamic notes.

Vibrant on the palate with sweet and balanced tannins.

It is excellent with flavorful first courses, main courses of red meat, and is also ideal with mature cheeses.
