Domaine Bousquet Description

This is Domaine Bousquet’s line starring their best grapes from the “home” vineyard – the original vineyard planted by Jean Bousquet in the late 1990s. This was the terroir that caught Jean’s imagination because it had a rarity – sand. Sandy soil makes for elegant wines (a “must” for this Frenchman). Its low fertility gives desirable vine stress; it is permeable for good drainage and has no salinity issues, often a problem in arid areas. Grapes here are the last to be harvested; the extra hang time ensures heightened richness and body.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in French oak.

Tasting notes: Deep violet color. Pronounced red and black fruit aromas. Fig, raisin and black pepper with mineral notes. Full bodied palate with present tannins and long finish.
