Presentation
La Cour des Dames wines pay tribute to an illustrious period in Occitan culture. The troubadours, celebrated poet-musicians, devoted themselves to lyric art and courted ladies. Using their oratorical talents at sumptuous banquets served in their honour, they also introduced their audiences to wine tasting. By combining wines, gastronomy, music and poetry they were the precursors of a certain Mediterranean art of living that has lasted to the present day.
Terroir
This Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the diversity of the terroirs of Pays d'Oc. Influenced by the Mediterranean climate, this wine fully expresses its potential between roundness, structure, and length.
Winemaking
The grapes are destemmed before a long maceration at low temperature with pump-overs. This allows for a rich, intense wine with a beautiful length. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in tanks for 6 months. A small part of the blend is in contact with wood to gain complexity.
