2023 Clos du-Tue-Boeuf La Guerrerie Rouge

La Guerrerie is an estate parcel named in reference to its history as a battlefield in the Hundred Years' War. This Vin de France is a blend of 90% Côt (Malbec) and 10% Gamay from a flat, clay-rich site co-planted in the 1980s. The Puzelat family farms the vineyard organically and harvests by hand. The whole clusters undergo semi-carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and without sulfur. The wine is aged 8-9 months in used demi-muids and Burgundy barrels, then bottled without filtration and with minimal to no sulfur added.
