Villemade 2022 Cheverny Rouge Les Ardilles

Les Ardilles is majority Pinot Noir with a small percentage of Gamay from sandy clay soils with silex over limestone in Cheverny. Around 3 weeks of gentle maceration with light extraction followed by aging in old barrels and amphora, with no added SO2 during vinificaton. The wine is particularly delicious in the 2022 vintage. The palate is elegant, light and fresh, with sapid black cherry and raspberry, chalky and bright with velvety tannins and firm acidity. The finish is clean, elegant and long with beautiful sapid, ripe black fruits, minerals and citrus. A pure and delicious natural wine!
