Malbec co-fermented with Cabernet Franc
Cold and wet vintage. Wild flowers, wet earth,
spices and chalky dust. Tied, compact and
austere.
La Craie represents the site´s calcareous
character. It´s always more restricted than
Iubileus, a little tied at first sight that needs to
open up in the glass. It shows a sober
personality, austere in aromas, going from wild
flowers to the white dry rock and the
peppercorn tree.
It comes from vineyard parcels located above
1300m/4200 feet elevation in Gualtallary
Malbec and Cabernet Franc hand arvested
during the last week of March.
They were both de-stemmed over open top
neutral french barrels where they cofermented.
Spontaneous fermentation in neutral oak with
daily soft pigeages with an extended
maceration for 35 days.
Aged 16 month in the same oak barrels.
Bottled without finning nor filtering.
Total production vintage 2015:
550 bottles of 750 cc,.
98 Parker points!!!
