LES NOYERS 2022

Our expression of Tannat! 

“2022, a generous, sunny vintage”

Character, elegance and potential...

Born at l’Esquillouté place formerly planted with walnut trees. 

Today, Tannat is cultivated there: dark like walnut husk and robust like a walnut tree!

A rich, complex nose of black fruit, licorice, cinnamon and vanilla notes.


Harmonious on the palate, with présent, well-coated tannins.


Character, elegance, generous shapes and subtle aromas with melted woody notes.

16°C / Accompanies Gascon cuisine, grilled or slow-cooked beef, tajines, Pyrenean cheeses, chocolate...
This is a wine to drink now to enjoy its black fruit aromas and freshness, or to age for ten years or more.

Harvesting...

Parcel-by-parcel selection: clay soil produces full-bodied, generous wines.

 

Harvest date: according to regular berry tasting. Grapes harvested when ripe, on the verge of over-ripeness.

 

Blend: 100% Tannat

Vinification...

Cold pre-fermentation macération to extract fruity aromas

Alcoholic fermentation: temperature control to preserve fruitiness and finesse.

Extraction: délestages controlled by daily tastings during the first third of fermentation.


Cuvaison: 28 days, determined by tasting


Micro-oxygenation: before and after running   off, for balanced structure and well-coated tannins

Aging...

In 300-liter oak barrels (1/3 new) for 1 year

Aged with little intervention

First bottlings around 2 years after the harvest
