Domaine de Brin - Brin de Folie 2022
Domaine de Brin is located between Albi, Gaillac and Cordes in the AOC Gaillac , on a clay-limestone plateau. The former family property is today managed by Damien Bonnet who is keen to apply organic cultivation and natural winemaking methods. A majority of typical Gaillac grape varieties with a strong identity, such as Duras, Braucol and Prunelart in red, Mauzac, Loin de l'œil and Ondenc in white, are cultivated on the 12 hectares of the estate.
Brin de Folie is made from Cabernet Sauvignon , grown on clay-limestone terroir at 280 meters above sea level. Manual harvesting is carried out late after the berries have matured by straining . The whole bunches are put into direct pressing. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts, then is stopped by filtration once the residual sugar level is reached.
Grape variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
