Interprétation Les Evois

90-110-year-old vines on the limestone and sandy-clay soils south-facing slopes of Bourgueil, between the forest plateau and the Loire terraces. One plot: Les Evois.

Single Guyot pruning, severe disbudding, manual leaf-thinning and green harvesting. Plots are completely grassed to protect the soil erosion, facilitate the development of biological activity and improve the the health of the harvest by reducing the vigour of the vines.

After careful monitoring of ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand. The bunches are sorted on the stumps, then brought to the winery in crates.

- Hand-harvested, de-stemmed, whole-berry fermentation by gravity in wooden vats
- Maceration for 3 weeks, gentle extraction by punching down and pumping over
- Aged for 12 months in amphora
- Bottled and aged in bottle for 4 years before release for sale.

Beautiful deep color with garnet reflections. The nose is powerful and elegant, with notes of raspberries and red currants. The palate is full-bodied and fruity, with a spicy finish.

A gourmet wine. For cooked and grilled red meats, dishes with reduced and concentrated sauces, game.
