ARTEVINO - Sélection éphémère
Loudenne Cépage Rouge 2022
"THERE IS NO GREAT TERROIR THAT DOES NOT LOOK AT THE RIVER". Like the greatest Médoc wines, Château LOUDENNE's vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir located on the edge of the Gironde estuary which, like a mirror, reflects the sun's rays, reduces the risk of frost and promotes the ripening of the grapes. This privileged location brings elegance, complexity and finesse to the wines of LOUDENNE

Presentation
Presentation
Loudenne Malbec grape variety comes from a plot of vines covering an area of 0.84 hectares containing 7-year-old malbec vines.
The vintage
A very good vintage characterized by higher temperatures and a water deficit compared to the average. Harvesting was early with very good ripeness. The challenge was not to harvest too late to preserve a good acid balance and fruit aromas.

The grapes were harvested by hand and underwent a double sorting, before and after destemming, on vibrating tables and were gravity-fed into tanks.

Traditional concrete tank with 2 pump-overs per day.
