Tutiac TOUT Roupit Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux Rouge 2019 6 Pack

Deep, coarse-textured calcosol with pebbles under gravel topsoil. Thissoil retains warmth and is conducive to early ripening.
It also overlays a2-metre deep hard, slightly fragmented, limestone bedrock. This physical barrier limits the depth of the roots, promoting the gradual onset of moderate water stress from véraison (colour change) throughout ripening. This restricts the sizeof the grapes, boosting the synthesis of phenolic compounds a n d concentration of anthocyanins. The thick, deeply- coloured skins are highly tannic and aromatic.

VITICULTURE

The high leaf canopy rapidly consumes thesoil's water reserves by evapotranspiration and ensures an adequate leaf-to-fruit ratio, propitious to good concentration and extraction. The grapesare picked early in the morning at optimum ripeness(slightly overripe), topreserve their intrinsic fruitiness and full aromatic expression.
