Cyril Le Moing (Loire)
Cabernet Sauvignon / Grolleau Gris / Grolleau Noir • 2020
The blend here is about 70% Cabernet, with the remainder a mixture of the two shades of Grolleau, all planted on gravelly soils in the ‘Le Ponge’ vineyard. The grapes were harvested and de-stemmed by hand, then gentle macerated for 10 days before being committed to old barrique by gravity. Gentler in structure than Cyril’s other reds, this shows a pleasurable combination of wild berries and capsicum. Only a handful of cases arrived in the UK.
