Notes: 

“. . an intense and powerful wine for this level. Its fruity and deep character show fine mineral expression. One-quarter whole-cluster in this cuvée gives a fine expressive bouquet and a fresh floral character in this rather saturated vintage.”

With only 2.5 hecters and using baie par baie (or berry by berry), in which they trim each grape off the stem one at a time, leaving intact only the very end of the stem that is attached to the berry. This technique takes 30 people an entire day to complete one single barrel, yet the duo think this is worth it as it results in enhanced aromas and complexity in the finished wine.

Moron-Garcia are advocates of low-intervention winemaking, and fermentation is carried out spontaneously by wild yeasts. In the cellar they work with gravity so the wine is never pumped from tank to tank. They use no new oak, believing its character inhibits the wine’s ability to express its origin. Barrel ageing lasts for 12 months. Only once during the whole process is sulphur added to stabilise the wine.

 It will go perfectly with red meats (shallot tab, beef rib with marrow,…), river fish (pike, pike perch,…), cheeses made from cow's milk as well.
