Presentation
In 1907, Jules Cavalier, a brilliant inventor of some of the most ingenious equipment ever developed for the wine industry, planted his first vineyards to experiment with new machines. Today, his inventions are no longer used, but his descendants have expanded the vineyards in several of France's best terroirs and now produce some of the country's most renowned wines.
Location
This wine comes from coastal vineyards located near the sea, where the microclimate and water supply allow for gentle ripening in this hot climate, as well as from certain deep and gravelly French vineyards, the natural birthplace of Cabernet Sauvignon.
In the vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon is a grape variety with relatively late budding and maturation. It often produces its best results in well-drained, gravelly, acidic, and well-exposed soils, which allow for maximum grape ripening, especially in temperate regions. In dry regions, it prefers deeper soils that can provide constant nutrition, especially during summer droughts.
Winemaking
Long maceration partially at low temperature allowing to extract certain fruity aromas, while a part of the wines is fermented at higher temperature with French and American oak to obtain spicier notes. Aging for 6 to 9 months in oak barrels with racking after about 4 months.
Varietal
Cabernet sauvignon : 100%
