Château Haut L'Abeille Origine sulfite free

1 hectare of 35 years old Merlot, on a clay-limestone plateau. Hand sorting of the berries, alcoholic fermentation at 25°C with natural yeasts followed by a 3-week vatting and malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks under inert gas to prevent oxidation, no pumping-over, only manual punching down, without any added sulfites during all the winemaking process and bottling. Annual production: 6000 bottles.Tasting notes: bright deep ruby colour, nose of intense, ripe black fruits after aeration, crisp and gourmet, a pure expression of the merlot with a great freshness in the mouth.
