- TASTING NOTE: A powerful bouquet of violet, elderberry, blackberry liqueur and dried thyme. On the palate, the attack is round and easy, with blackberry and cherry fruit, then the vibrant acidity appears, and plays with the gentle tannins, finishing with ripe, chalky fruit. Despite this ripeness it is not heavy at all, but quite refreshing and lively.
- ABOUT THE WINE: 100% Malbec (Cot) from the Cheverny AOC. Cot is only allowed as a blending variety in Cheverny, so this wine is labelled as Vin de France. Semi-carbonic maceration for 15 days followed by aging in large neutral oak.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Simon Tessier is the third generation to craft wine from his families 26ha near the town of Cheverny in the Loire Valley. Tessier's organically certified vineyards sit on the edge of the wine growing area for the Loire Valley proper, with a cool microclimate producing wines with tension and vibrancy. Winemaking is very minimal, with Tessier eschewing any additions except for a small amount of sulphur used in vintage blending and bottling (less than 50g/L).
