Domaine Philemon Gaillac Rouge Jurancon Noir - 2020 (750ml)
Importers notes:
After a few years of tasting Jurançon Noir from tank and begging Mathieu to bottle it separately, he finally agreed in 2013. The grapes are hand harvested and put into the cement fermentation tank in whole clusters for a semi-carbonic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The Jurançon Noir is an old variety local to the southwest of France valued for its vigor and color and used primarily for blending. According to Jancis Robinson, it is a cross between Folle Blanche and Cot (Malbec). As Mathieu explains, in order to produce quality wine this variety must be severely pruned and handled gently in the winery. The result is a dark, spicy and slightly bitter wine that is 11% alc, when fully ripe.
