Description
An explosive fruit characterizes this cuvée of Cahors K-Nom du Clos Troteligotte. Short maceration, gentle extraction, vinification without artifice, aging in concrete tanks: everything is done to preserve the fruit and freshness. Fleshy and tasty, the wine evokes aromas of blueberries, blackberries, cherries and some spices. A beautiful liveliness, crunchy tannins, and a tense finish make this wine a perfect “grape juice” for summer evenings with friends.

About the estate
Emmanuel Rybinski has been practicing peasant viticulture since 1987 with a deep respect for the land and biodiversity. Certified in organic and biodynamic agriculture, the estate is also engaged in agroforestry and eco-farming. Le Clos Troteligotte is made up of 16 hectares of vines perched on the high-altitude terroirs of the Cahors appellation, in the heart of a 35-hectare wooden setting. A unique place, a point of harmony between the Lot valley and the Causses du Quercy Blanc. The red grape varieties have their roots in a Kimmeridgian and Siderolithic clay-limestone terroir, rich in iron from the Causses de Cahors, while the white grape varieties are on a Quercy Blanc clay-limestone terroir known as “Stampian”. The interaction between man and nature continues in the winery where vinifications are done naturally and without sulfite. The result is living wines, expressing the link between mineral and plant, fruit and complexity, the culture of the earth and that of the spirit.
