Cépages
cabernet franc 50 %, mourvèdre 30 %, grenache 20 %
Culture
The old Grenache of Bagatelle, established on arid terrains, is trained in gobelet. The Mourvèdre vines, planted in the seventies are trellised. Planted more recently (in the nineties), Cabernet Franc vines are also trellised.
Vinification
Grapes are hand-picked. Then, all the varieties ferment separately. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wines are matured in large cask for 6 months on average. Bottling in January 2016.
Character of the wine
Still very young, it has a vibrant ruby red colour. The nose is dominated by youthful aromas with red berries. The mouth is fleshy, revealing a good balance between tannins and fruit. This wine is quaffing, full of freshness.
Matching Food suggestions

Ageing
