Description
This Sainte Foy Bordeaux wine is deep in colour, offering a full nose of red cherry with a fresh touch of liquorice. The palate is full-bodied from the beginning and then it becomes round to give delicate notes of kirsch which cover very silky tannins. The softness is amazing for such a concentrated Bordeaux.
This cuvée can be drunk now, but it can also be matured for about 5 years.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-selected on a conveyor at the entrance of the cellar and then put into stainless steel vats for a week of cold skin contact. A part of this cuvee is made using a Burgundy technique (“pigeage”) which makes rounder and fruiter wines. The fermentation is carried out at a low temperature under an automatic cooling system. Then the wine is matured under micro-oxygenation
