Macerated and fermented with indigenous yeast in fibreglass tanks. Aged in old barrels for 48 months before bottling with no fining, filtration or added sulphur. Aged in bottle for a further 3 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Wine: Natural red wine with a medium to full body. A a deep and complex expressing of Côt (the local name for Malbec) after so many years in barrel and bottle. Blackcurrants, plums, dried cherries, earth and spice. Everything beautifully balanced and still showing fresh acidity. Forget about the myth that zero-sulphur wine cannot age because everything here is immaculate. It's a bottle for the cooler months and should be paired with a hearty dish. Less than 2000 bottles produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes on the Winemaker: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJardins de Theseiis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e is the project of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnouk \u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003ePaul-André, s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eituated in Thésée along the right bank of the Cher in Touraine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Steering away from industrial shortcuts,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the duo farms four hectares of old vines with meticulous biodynamic care,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e prioritising soil vitality and ecosystem balance over yields.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn their cellar,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e winemaking is guided by patience and restraint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fermentation relies exclusively on native yeast,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with minimal intervention,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e long elevage in neutral oak and fibereglass vessels,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and no added sulphur on bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e They work with classic Loire varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gamay,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Côt,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cabernet Franc and Romorantin producing wines that feel pure and authentic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJardins de Theseiis captures the quiet,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e mineral tension of the Cher's flint and tuffeau soils,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e delivering singular,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e high-energy cuvées built on texture,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e vitality,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and unvarnished terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highbury Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57027684827522,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0377\/0561\/3443\/files\/57193.jpg?v=1794395621","url":"https:\/\/highburylibrary.co.uk\/products\/p-cot-malbec-br-jardin-de-la-maison-neuve-2019-br-les-jardins-de-theseiis-p","provider":"Highbury Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
