Le Fief Noir Anjou "Somnambule" red 2022

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape variety: 90% cabernet franc; 10% grolleau

Soil: clay-sandy on schist alteration

Age of the vines: 30 years

Farming: simple guyot pruning, bud thinning followed by leaf removal in spring. Soil and row work in all rows. This plowing promotes deep rooting of the vine, allowing it to better withstand excesses and shortages of water.

Harvest: manual in ventilated crates of 12 kg. We perform a negative sorting a few days before the harvest, leaving only perfectly healthy bunches. The vine then fully concentrates its energy on the still-standing harvest.

Vinification: whole-cluster maceration for 15 days. Fermentation in concrete tank with indigenous yeasts. Aging in tank for about 6 months.

Tasting: ruby red color. Expressive and pleasant nose, with notes of red fruits. Particularly distinct aromas of strawberry and blackcurrant. The palate is marked by softness and roundness. A rich and intense finish with aromas of blackcurrant and black cherry.

Culinary pairings: chevrotin, venison, snails in garlic parsley butter, sautéed mushrooms…
