Tasting Notes
Palate
Ripe and juicy
Gamay from the South West of France. Hint of peppery
spice, finishing with lively acidity and soft tannins.
Vinification
Picked at optimum ripeness to enhance the bright
flavours but a balanced acidity. The fruit is destemmed,
sorted and transferred into open top fermenters for a
period of cold maceration to extract colour and tannin
for 12 days.
Temperatures remained controlled at
26°C. The juice is drained off the skins and transferred
to tank where malolactic fermentation took place.
Filtered and bottled.
Vintage Notes
Whilst Comté Tolosan covers a large vineyard area,
picking for the 2023 vintage benefited from a warm
growing season, allowing for ripe fruit development
while maintaining its signature freshness. The resulting
wine is well balanced with bright fruit flavours, gentle
tannins and a vibrant, juicy finish
Region Notes
IGP Comte Tolosan. Vineyards are located in the
Adour and Garonne River basins, between the Atlantic
Coast to the west and the Massif Central mountains to
the east, with mainly alluvial soils. The climate is
predominantly maritime, with mild, fresh summers
and cool, wet winters. A small proportion of fruit is
selected from vineyards further east that experiences a
hotter, continental climate.
