Domaine des Creisses "Les Brunes" red 2021 in wooden case

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape variety:

• 60% cabernet-sauvignon aged 33 years
• 30% syrah aged 34 years
• 10% grenache aged 21 years

Terroir: Clay-limestone plateau of gravel and Villafranchian terraces. Basalt flow for the
Cabernet-Sauvignon.

Viticulture (sustainable protection): Short pruning: Royat for the balance of trellising and ripening. Grass cover every other row. Organic amendments.

Climate: A warm spring at the start initiated vegetation in late March before the freezing night of April 7, which caused a historic frost and significant damage in the region, mostly limited to the lower slopes. The rest of spring was cool, in March and May, with a resumption of vegetation sometimes a month after the frost. A cool and rainy summer with storms starting August 15 made this vintage late. Fortunately, it benefited from a beautiful Indian summer starting September 25. The wines are delicate and fresh with a supple tannic structure.

Yield: 40 hl/ha.

Phenolic maturity: Optimum sought for the silkiness of the tannins and for the wines' longevity.

Vinification: Maceration of 25 days of a harvest always destemmed at high temperature.

Aging: 17 months in new French oak barrels, selected fine grains with medium plus toasting.
