Red wine Le Faucon 2022 IGP Gaillac

Production

Nicolas' two main passions are reunited in this bottle: wine and falconry!



As for needed in Falconry, riguour and patience were also the keys of the blend of two grape varieties: "Tannat" and "Braucol".



The Tannat is harvested from a plot plantes at high density (7500 vines/ha). As for the Vintage Florentin, every vine will bear only four bunches of grapes.



The clayey-chalky soil provides strong aromas. Short and selective pruning is used to favor small yields.



In the spring, all vines are disbudded by hand to promote a better distribution of the bunches.



In June, we perform a leaf stripping manually for better ventilation.



In July, we count and remove the extra bunches on the vine. We only leave a maximum of four bunches per vine.



During the manual harvest, the grapes are sorted and brought in a box to the cellar where a second sorting is carried out to keeping only the flawless grains. The manipulations in the cellar are reduced to the maximum to extract the quintessence of these two grape varieties.
