CEDRIC LATHUILIERE Domaine Lathuiliere Gravallon Fleurie La Madone Red 2021 Fleurie
Description
Viticulture
I work rather in an authentic and traditional spirit. I prefer tillage or natural grass in all my machineable plots. The harvest is manual, with careful sorting of the harvest to keep only the best of the grapes. Concerning plant health protection, our vines are followed using integrated, eco-friendly methods. We aim to keep treatments to a minimum. For ten years now, in our plots that are most suited to mechanisation, we have stopped all applications of herbicide.
Vinification
We practice partial stripping to make the tannins more flexible. The vinification technique is traditional semi-carbonic Beaujolais, gridding over the cap to extract the maximum colour and tannins. Vatting lasts 8 to 12 days with temperature control.
Wine aging
In concrete vats maximum 6 months then bottling
Tasting notes
Its floral and fruity aromas of iris, violet, rose, red fruit, and vine peach from the pink granite soil the vines grow in. The monthfeel combines elegance, finesse and silky body.
