Les Maou "Entre Chats" 2022
This blend of light & bright Grenache, Alicante, Carignan Noir and Clairette is what Vincent calls “the little cuvée.” He blends a little bit of tannin and extraction with a little bit of crunch and spice, resulting in a demure bombshell of strawberry & dusty cherry notes. A blend of semi-carbonic maceration and direct-pressing of grapes. The name of the cuvée translates to an interweaving of distinct elements into something seamless and unified, in this case the assemblage of white and red grapes that change from vintage to vintage. Similarly, the classic ballet jump entrechat refers to the sensational crossing of the legs back and forth in rapid succession, a movement that evokes the way our hearts fluttered the first time we tasted this wine. Fittingly for a team of cat lovers, Entre Chats continues to make us purr.
