Clos du Mont-Olivet IGP "La Quête" (cinsault) red 2023

Technical Sheet written by the domaine :

La Quête is primarily a wine made from the sole grape variety Cinsault grown on sandy soils, fermented whole-cluster by indigenous yeasts and aged in tank and then in barrels of several wines for 14 months.
La Quête is also a journey, illuminated by the love of well-done work, inscribed in the long term; the search for a brake on the permanent acceleration of our civilization.

Sometimes the winemaker "steps out" of their appellation, with a specification too restrictive, to allow a particular grape variety or soil to express itself. This is the case for this cuvée which highlights Cinsaults aged 45 to 60 years, from a sandy terroir.

VINTAGE
“A vintage with long and saline finishes”
Although August saw temperatures occasionally exceed 40°C and the year was classified as the hottest ever recorded globally, rainfall was satisfactory with good precipitation in May and June followed by beneficial rain on August 27. No frost or coulure episodes to report. The harvest was abundant, and the Mistral helped maintain the grapes in perfect health.
The harvest took place on October 4.

TERRIOR
This parcel wine comes from the lieu-dit "Le Plan Sud" in Saint Laurent des Arbres with sandy soil.

VINIFICATION
Whole harvest. After a fermentation of 15 days, the free-run and press juices were blended and aged for a few months in concrete tank and then in a second stage, in stone jars (60%) and in barrels of several wines (40%).

SERVICE TEMP: 15°C
