Sample pack Brut de Cuve

Special wines from winemaker François Teisserenc, from Domaine de l'Arjolle from Languedoc in France.

The red variant is a special red wine – which is made without any filtering, clarification or barrel aging – which was an outright success at the introduction of the 2015 harvest and sold out very quickly. François Teisserenc is now bottling for the seventh time the best and most ripe part of his harvested Merlot grapes, this year with super-ripe and creamy Cinsault in the assembly. Because there is no filtering, the Brut de Cuve can develop a little sediment. On the other hand, there is a maximum taste and fruit experience that you rarely encounter.

The white variant is also a 'Vin nature', which very few producers dare to do. Making red without additives is easier, because the tannin in the skin acts as a natural preservative. White wines are made without the skins and are therefore less 'stable'.

(new!) the rosé of the Brut de Cuve is reminiscent of Provence with its beautiful soft color and taste. When tasting this wine, we noticed a small problem: we don't have enough of this! This is going to be the new trend in rosé drinking.

Back to making these wines. For François Teisserenc it is quite a challenge to maintain pure scents and flavors and to protect the wine from oxidation. This can only be achieved with healthy, top-quality grapes, which are placed in the tank immediately after picking to have as little contact with oxygen as possible. Partly because of this, it has a full and unique taste. A wonderful example of how good and pure a natural wine can be!
