Description of wine 🍷

ENCEPAGEMENT

50 % Négrette - 26 % Syrah - 15 % Cabernet Franc - 9 % Gamay

NATURE DU SOL

Les vignes sont situées sur la plus haute terrasse du Tarn à environ 200 m d'altitude. Les sols sont des alluvions composés essentiellement de cailloux, graves, et limons. Ils confèrent à la vigne une vigueur controlée adaptée à la production d'un raisin de qualité.

VITICULTURE

La recette est simple : Un travail de la vigne au plus proche du terroir, sans engrais ni désherbants, en privilégiant les produits naturels, la récolte d’une vendange très mure, très saine et triée.

VINIFICATION

Afin de respecter la typicité du terroir et des cépages, nous n’utilisons que les levures naturelles présentes sur la peau du raisin au moment des vendanges. La fermentation se fait dans des cuves en inox, équipées d'une maîtrise thermique sous forme de ruissellement d'eau froide. Les vinifications se font cépage par cépage. Les vins subissent deux soutirages. Ils sont alors assemblés et mis en bouteille entre septembre et mars.

 

DEGUSTATION

La robe est grenat très sombre, mais translucide. Le nez est fin, sur le cassis frais et confit, la violette et une fine touche poivrée. La bouche est ronde, ample, souple, avec une matière finement veloutée, et un fruit frais et expressif. On sent un peu de gaz carbonique en arrière-plan, mais il n'est pas trop dérangeant – on peut l'éliminer en le carafant. Il apporte un supplément de peps et de fraîcheur. La finale est encore plus fraîche et tonique que la bouche, avec une fine mâche au fruité gourmand, et une persistance sur le cassis, le poivre et le cacao.

What is an author wine?

This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.

An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.

This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.

As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
