Klwm Clos La Loutale Cahors 16

Description

Wine Spectator 89 points – A taut style, with medium tannins and lively acidity creating a firm structure that stands behind the blackberry, pepper and thyme notes. This will be silky and very elegant in a few years. Best from 2021 through 2027. 980 cases made, 400 cases imported..September/2019 | This “cuvee” is made with grapes from the vines of Beaumont-en-Veron, to which we add, throughout the different vintages, “press and free-run wines” from the alluvial soil of the left bank of the Vienne. This particular blend lends this wine its original harmony of arome and matter.Grape destemming without crushing, 5 days of skin maceration at cool temperatures, a rapid start to fermentation, at maximum temperature of 25C for 10 days – the fermentation is sometimes interrupted before the entire transformation of sugar into alcohol – make this a highly aromatic wine which also benefits from the tannic support of the press wines.Malolactic fermentation takes place in vats, after the wine is drawn off and during the winter this wine is naturally chilled.A number of rackings, together with in-vat maturation and bottling at the end of the spring, and this wine is ready for our summer enjoyment. |
