Particular Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes
Deep red with vibrant violet hues. Aromas of black and red fruits—cassis and ripe currant—are layered with sweet spice, black pepper, vanilla, and subtle smoky minerality from oak aging. Full-bodied and structured, with supple tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
Vineyards
The grapes for this cuvée are sourced from a number of growers with longstanding relationships with the Brunel family, all of which represent a variety of unique terroirs. Vineyards planted on filtered gravel beds produce concentrated grapes, while clay soil adds a rich, aromatic quality, and chalky limestone brings structure and a long finish to the wine. The 2020 harvest was conducted in mid-September to ensure mature grapes with balanced acidity.
Winemaking
The wine was aged for 12 months in French barrels. The wine was then transferred to stainless steel tanks for 10-15 days in order to allow the lees to precipitate. After stabilization, the unfiltered, final wine was bottled-aged an additional 8 months.
