Gibus
« Des cabernets à l’accent ligèrien »
The colour is a light crimson. The nose is deep and complex, worth lingering over and contemplating, there is stone, just-ripe fruit, freshness. After opening up, blackcurrant comes through beautifully. On the palate, a thread of freshness runs through the wine from start to finish like a blade. Ripe fruit and menthol intertwine, the wine is ethereal and evolves with every sip. This wine is a hymn to patience, both in its ageing potential and in the glass. It deserves dishes of distinction, crispy veal sweetbreads or pig's trotter fritters.

Vinification
Carbonic maceration for around ten days, in amphora. The grapes are then crushed and left for a few further days of maceration. A very slow, gentle pressing follows after those additional days of skin contact. Ageing takes place in amphorae ranging from 200 to 600 litres over two years. The wine is finally bottled without sulphur, fining or filtration.
