Château Haut-Grelot

The 'Bouches Baies'—Berry Mouth—is fashioned after a classic Bordeaux Clairet where the classic tannic structure of Bordeaux is checked by a shorter maceration and a cooler ferment in stainless steel. These sandy soils were never the best for making extracted wines anyway but ideal for aromatic and fleet footed expressions, those big aromatics that Cab Franc acolytes swoon for. So why not make it a chilled affair! This wine is jjjjjuicyyyyy—but obviously not just juicy, it’s Cab Franc friendos!—it’s a racy fresh wine with notes of sour cherry, red currant, cranberry, and banana peppers. A perfect slide for all the glou glou dolls out there.
