Presentation
Presentation
Haut Vignac evokes the genesis and the terroir from which this wine is produced. The Périgord is the "Cradle of Mankind" and has welcomed Homo Sapiens thanks to its wide valleys, its shelters, its countless rivers and its forests.
Location
The Dordogne, the river that crosses the region and shares its name, allowed vineyards planted by the Romans and developed by monks in the Middle Ages to spread out. Ideally situated on the slopes of the Dordogne valley, sheltered from the influence of the ocean, the vineyards benefit from a particularly favourable climate giving rise to pleasurable, elegant and authentic wines, given variety and richness by the diversity of the landscapes.
Winemaking
Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperature using selected yeasts, with around 2 weeks on skins to provide a supple wine. Ageing in stainless-steel and concrete tanks. Slight sweetening before bottling to add roundness and indulgence.
Varietal
Merlot : 100%
Advice
Taste profile
Rouge fruité gourmand
Tasting
Merlot, the major grape variety in the region, gives a lively red colour of good intensity. It brings fruit and roundness. There are aromas of fresh red fruit (red currant, raspberry, red cherry). The tannins are supple. A pleasure-giving wine, both round and indulgent.
Food pairings
Serve at between 16 and 18°C. Can be enjoyed throughout the meal.
