Product Description:

"This wine comes from the best parcels in the La Caminade vineyard. Typically it is from parcels of old vines growing on the 'third terrace', but the final selection is made after the fermentations have occurred. For this cuvee, the Ressès try to use exclusively Auxerrois (Malbec)although sometimes a small amount of tannat is blended for complexity.. Fermentation temperature is controlled and maceration is extended to five weeks, M. Ressès has devised a system that allows for very gentle pumping of the juice over the cap. The wine is aged in oak barrels, typically one third new, for one year. The result is a deep and concentrated wine that typifies the Quercy region." -Importer
