Larcin, 2019

Alcohol:13.5% Bottle size:75cl Average age of vines: 40 years Carbonic maceration for ten days then devatting. The grapes are then destemmed and crushed to be put back into vats and finish their fermentation in classic maceration but without extraction. The wine is then put in barrels or semi-barrels (600l barrels all of at least 3 wines) for about 10 months. It is then bottled without fining or filtration and without sulphiting. Dense, drawing on purple. The nose is explosive with aromas ranging from liquorice propolis to aromas of crunchy red berries; after airing, the nose is marked by blackcurrant. In the mouth, the frame is identical to the nose, the fruit dominates, it is fresh and delicious. The final reminds us that we are in the southwest, but with a lot of elegance. The tannic structure caresses the palate, while the aromatic nose which makes one think of a light wine is far away. Larcin is a bit "bi-polar", it manages to combine wine of thirst and character with a lot of elegance.
