Une Méduse Dans Les Cornichons 2018 [1.5L]

2018

A special bottling from a single barrel of Loup des Vignes that Benoit felt was expressing itself differently. From old vines of Gamay d’Auvergne planted over basalt and quartz, the grapes were fermented as whole bunches for a fortnight and pressed to cuve for the winter. The following spring the wine was transferred to old barrels for a year of élevage. From a warmer vintage, this is a deep, dark and brooding expression of the grape which will reveal itself slowly over the coming years.
