Product notes
At Bouscaut, the grapes are cold macerated for a few days. Then the juice remains in vats in contact with the skins and pips (the pomace) during the alcoholic fermentation. At this point, we do regular pumping over (repassing of the juice on the pomace to extract color and tannins) which are decided daily by the owners and the consulting oenologist while tasting.
Production notes
Once the alcoholic fermentation is completed, a few selected parcels undergo malolactic fermentation in barrels, while the others remain in vats. The second wine is also transferred into barrels.
Tasting notes
Fruits, buttery notes, round, supple, soft, blended tannins, delicate, silky, fresh… A wine of great style.
