Merlot 50% , Cabernet Franc 50%

Organic, Sustainable

A very new take on wine from a traditional region - this "other" cuvée has been aged in clay amphora with no added sulphites.

PRODUCTION The grapes are sourced from clay and limestone terroirs of the Mangot estate in Saint Étienne de Lisse. No fungicides or weedkillers are used in the vineyard, and the winemaking process is minimal intervention, using wild yeasts and without the addition of sulphites. After fermentation the wine is aged for 8 months in 160 to 750 litre clay amphorae.

TASTING NOTE Aromas of red cherry with lightly peppery, herbal notes. The palate is bold and powerful with mouth coating tannins, red berry fruit, pepper and a fresh acidity that provides balance. The finish is long with mulberry notes to the end.
