Le Franc 2022 MAGNUM Grape|ParelladaFrom Olivier's prized old vines of massale selection Cabernet Franc, grafted by his grandfather in the late 40s. As you'd expect, Le Franc demonstrates vin de garde qualities that suggest a long life ahead in the cellar we're happy to offer some with a little time in big bottles, from the 2022 vintage. De stemmed, foot crushed and fermented in an open topped wooden vat, it was then pressed and run by gravity into old demi muid barrels to rest for 18
Plus a little bit of trivia: the label was designed by non other than elusive winemaker Aurélien Lefort
followed by some rounding out in old barrels
From the wild and unexpected to the delicate and nuanced
Val refers to this wine as 'his grenadine'
A fascinating experimental cuvée from a domain known primarily for its luminous vin rouge
It's made in the maceratión carbónica style in open concrete tanks
it was then transferred to bottle to complete fermentation and disgorged after one year sur lattes
Next time you rustle up a fritto misto (or even if you’re just heading to the chippy) look no further for partnership perfection
this is 100% Syrah given a twelve-day
savoury bitters and the line of acidity is taut with energetic vim
and undergo a gentle maceration for one week to maintain fine tannins whilst keeping Malbec's signature inky colour
grippy and spicy
