First Glance: Concentrated, Elegant, Detailed, Fine
The Wine:
99% of Cabernet Franc and 1% of Cabernet Sauvignon, from vines between 10 and 60 years old, planted on a Jurassic-era plateau made up of siliceous gravel mixed with slightly clayey earth. Free of any limestone, the soil permits for the growth of very deep roots. The estate is certified organic by ECOCERT and biodynamic by BIODYVIN. Manual harvest. Vinification is meticulous, with a short fermentation time (less than two weeks), followed by 12 months of aging in concrete vats, on lees. Bottled at the estate at the beginning of September 2023.
Very concentrated fruit aromas, with notes of violet and more ripe black fruits. The palate is evocative of fine Pinot Noir – as the French would say, "Ça pinote!”. Some very clean juice. The first wine of the Fosse-Sèche range is already an exceptional cuvée.
