Vinification
Les raisins sont cueillis à la main et placés dans de petites cagette, puis triés avec soin lors de l'entrée à la cave. Le fruit est égrappé et transféré mécaniquement dans la cuve en béton sans aucun pompage. Il est fermenté par des levures indigènes et sans aucun additif autre qu'une dose minimale de sulfites avec une macération d'environ 30 jours. Puis le vin est élevé dans une cuve en béton pendant 9 mois avant d'être mis en bouteille sans être filtré ni filtré.
Dégustation : la robe est pourpre très sombre, opaque. Le nez est gourmand, sur les fruits noirs bien mûrs (cassis, myrtlle, mûre) rafraîchis par une fine touche mentholée. La bouche est ronde, ample, enveloppante, délivrant une matière pulpeuse / juteuse, charnue à souhait, sur ces mêmes fruits noirs gourmands – en plus exubérant – avec toujours cette note mentholée (et même un peu poivrée) en contrepoint. La finale est dans la continuité de la bouche, si ce n'est que la matière est plus concentrée, avec plus de mâche. Mais le fruité se fait encore plus irrésistible, avec une fraîcheur aromatique accrue, avec une persistance sur la crème de cassis, le cacao et le menthol.

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.
