Domaine La Calmette Serpent à Plumes
Details
Ahhhhhh, Malbec from its roots.
'Domaine La Calmette, founded in 2016 by Maya Sallée and Nicolas Fernandez. Situated in the village of Trespotz, their 7-hectare estate is certified organic and biodynamic. The 40-year-old vines thrive in iron-rich clay soil over a base of Kimmeridgian limestone and marl.
Maya and Nicolas Fernandez use regenerative agricultural practices to enhance soil health and biodiversity. By minimizing soil disturbance and applying natural mulches, they foster a thriving underground ecosystem, including earthworms. These methods improve soil fertility, aid in carbon sequestration, and boost vineyard productivity and resilience.' - Veritas Wine
Some whole cluster inclusion and a percentage of the fruit is pressed immediately. 6-15-day ambient yeast fermentation with gentle infusion. Aged about 12 months on the lees in concrete and stainless steel tanks. No fining, no filtration. Minimal SO2 adjustment at bottling (10 ppm). AOC Cahors (protected French origin) must consist of 70% or more Malbec to earn the AOC (this wine is 75-90% Malbec).
Region: Cahors, France
Grapes: Malbec + Merlot
Tasting Notes: fresh figs, wild blueberry, strawberry fruit leather, honeycomb
