La Quille Rouge, Xavier and Caroline Perromat

£16.00

A fruit forward style of Graves

Xavier and Caroline Perromat took over Château Calvimont in 2012, along with Château de Cérons. The couple purchased Xavier’s parents’ estate and actively began to put their own stamp on the vines and the wines.

Grapes are grown on mixed gravel soil with sand and small stones that rest on oceanic limestone subsoils. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats with successive rounds of pumping over to allow a gentle extraction. After this the wine is run off and transferred to stainless-steel vats for malolactic fermentation. Ageing takes place in stainless steel for 6 months. Lovely aromas of autumn brambles, forest floor and cedar wood. This wine is rich, soft and perfumed with mature red fruit, but with sufficient acidity to gently lift the whole thing.
