Technical Notes: The hand-harvested grapes are 100% de-stemmed, crushed and then
vinified by parcel, with a 20 day maceration. No oak ageing.
Although not overtly advertised, this domaine is 100% certified organic. All the vineyard
and winery practices follow the philosophy and methods of organic farming as certified by
the French government. Only natural yeasts found in the vineyards are used to make the
wines at Terres de Solence. Jean-Luc works the must until he has achieved maximum
extraction. The choice of parcels used to produce this wine is determined by selecting
different lots to arrive at a balance between the old vines and the influence of the terroir. The
exact determination of the blend is not made until the date of harvest.
Tasting Notes: Consistent with the Domaine�s style the 2004 Trois P�res is full of bright
cassis fruit. The wine is deep purple in color with hints of garrigue and juniper on the nose.
The palate is round and rich and very well balanced. The finish is silky and pleasant with
well integrated tannins. A great wine for grilled meats and duck.
