« Monologue » Cabernet Franc 2019
12,50 €
The philosophy of the Monologue range is the expression of the union of a grape variety with a terroir.
Our Cabernet Franc comes from the terroir of the Jaubertie plateau, planted North South, on brown clay soil with the presence of a limestone bedrock at one meter. The vines are cultivated in organic farming, disbudded and undergo a green harvest. 60% in French oak barrels (400L) and 40% in clay amphores during 14 months.

Winemaking notes
The grapes are harvested when ripe, overnight to prevent oxidation, then refrigerated and undergo cold maceration for 72 hours. The winemaking is done gently to extract only silky tannins and preserve the fruit of the grapes. The wine is then aged in 400l barrels and clay amphores for 14 months. The wine is not filtered when bottling, which may explain a slight deposit.
Food tasting
Ruby red color, nose of intense red fruits: currants, blackcurrant, spices with notes of vanilla. Soft tannins with a lingering length of red fruits on the palate.
