Les Sablonnettes Les Copains D'Abord 2023

Age of Vines: 10 to 50 years

Yields: 30 hl/ha 5,000 bottles

Pruning Method: Guyot de Loire & Gobelet

Soil: Schist

Varieties: 2023 is a blend of Groslot (aka Grolleau, the typical red grape of this part of Loire), Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Gamay

Vinification Method: Grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed – the reds undergo a short maceration. The wine rests in tanks for six months before it is blended and bottled. 

Tasting Note: A cloudy ruby in the glass with layers of cherry pit and plum. The palate has loads of dark red fruit flavors boosted by scintillating minerality and silken folds of acidity. This is a complex, glouglou and vibrant red, that once tasted will never be forgotten!
