Description
Love & Enjoy from Sources d'Agapé is a real firecracker from the Saint-Amour appellation! … The cuvée is made from 60-year-old Gamay vines on the lower slopes of Mont Besset, vinified using carbonic maceration (whole bunches) for 7 days, and aged entirely in (enamelled) vats. This wild ride gives the wine a dazzling fruitiness (crushed strawberry, bigarreau cherry) enhanced by a few floral notes. Here is a sparkling wine driven by incredible energy, pure pleasure: shall we let our hair down?!
In the vineyard, in the cellar
Arthur Lotrous chose to convert his Les Sources d’Agapé
estate to organic farming immediately. He works the soil beneath the vines and maintains a grassed strip between the rows. He trains the vines in the traditional goblet style, without trellising, tying them one by one to preserve as much foliage as possible. His 6 hectares of Saint-Amour, in a single block, are separated from his neighbours by embankments and hedges. He harvests by hand into crates to protect the grapes.
