Our opinion on this wine
Sursum Corda 2022 - Vin de France Château
Very delicate nose with a fresh palate and a young, refined structure with beautiful tannins that are still young and tight. This wine has enormous aging potential! A very bright future ahead, best decanted while young.
Sursum Corda que l'on peut traduite par "Haut les coeurs ! Soyons braves !"
Assemblage de cabernets francs sur boulbènes(60%) , merlot (20%) , Merille , Milgranet (20%) sur calcaires.
Raisins égrappés pour les cabernets, grappe entière pour les merlots.

Terroir: Marnes brunes et argilo-calcaires.
Vines grown using intensive agroforestry methods (500 trees/ha) and "wide" vines, 5,000 vines/ha A scorching vintage, the tannins, seemingly frozen by the blazing summer, were difficult to grasp. The vines suffered from the heat and drought. This marl terroir was able to preserve the water balance to mitigate the harshness of this vintage.
