Wine information
The wine comes from the 2.9-hectare Les Noyers vineyard. The vineyard is characterised by clay, silt and sand on a bedrock of Asteria limestone. It lies at an altitude of 90 to 102 metres. 80 % Cabernet Franc and 20 % Merlot were used for this wine. The vineyard is cultivated biodynamically. Agroforestry and permaculture are also integrated. After manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation took place, followed by ageing in used oak barrels for 18 months. The wine was bottled without filtration or fining.
Color
dense cherry red
Nose
Characterised by Cabernet Franc, the wine offers a subtle perfume of ripe cassis, ripe dark cherries and some blueberry yoghurt, mingling with notes of leaves, herbs and some peat. There are also some ripe green notes that hint at the Cabernet Franc.
Taste
On the palate the Les Noyers quite cool, juicy fruit. The wine has more tension and also more tannin than the wines from the other two single vineyards. As a result, this Bordeaux comparatively firm, compared to the other wines of the estate. It is also already very drinkable and shows its potential. The acidity is silky, the fruit juicy and the wine lively, fresh and transparent.
