L’enclos
In the glass, L’Enclos presents a deep blue-black hue with a rich purple rim. Aromas of red and black fruits intertwine with notes of blueberry ink, warm garrigue, pine, and crushed limestone. The palate delights with flavors of juicy plum, blackberry, and black cherry, complemented by subtle hints of sweet herbs. A lively mineral undertone surfaces towards the finish, enhanced by the wine's silky acidity. While L’Enclos has the potential to age gracefully for over a decade, it is equally enchanting when enjoyed in its youthful vibrancy.
Vinification Method: The grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and gently pressed. The fruit undergoes a gentle regular pigeage—submerging the floating cap of skins in the vat thus allowing L’Enclos to maximize the flavor and color of the grapes. Natural yeasts are employed and the juice undergoes four to five weeks of maceration. Fermentation and aging occurs in used oak 600L barrels and conical wooden vat, for about a year, before it is bottled without fining or filtration.
