Côtes de Bordeaux Red – Cuvée Ancestrale – 2020 – 75cl – Garbes

Description

We opted for a mechanical tillage of the soil and a precise management of grass cover. Our manual practices are essential: disbudding, deseeding, trellising and leaf stripping are carried out with care to ensure an optimal quality of our grapes.

Our vines are exclusively protected by the Bordeaux mixture to preserve the health of the foliage and future grape clusters. In a desire to return to ancestral winemaking traditions, we combine these proven methods of the past with contemporary tools and the latest scientific advances.

This is how our Bordeaux red wine takes the evocative name of “l’Ancestrale”, symbol of our attachment to centuries-old practices, traditional know-how and modern innovation.

Tasting note:

With a majority of Merlot (80%), Ancestrale seduces you with its elegant and dense color combined with violet notes. It comforts the fleshy side of Merlot. On the palate, this wine surprises you with its silky tannins accompanied by notes of ripe fruit and black currant. It leaves a rich and melted aromatic palette on the finish.

We recommend decanting the wine in a carafe before tasting. It will restore the wine’s full character and reveal all its aromas.
