Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
Purple colour. Straightforward nose of blackcurrant coulis with hints of pepper and menthol. A supple attack with a well-balanced, long-lasting taste of candied red fruit. Average persistence. Small but frank character. Roundness.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

DOMAINE AGNES DE KERGOUALER DU COUEDIC
The hand-harvested grapes are transported in crates every ¾ of an hour to the winery, where they are sorted by the estate team and then 100% eraflés without crushing: the berries remain whole and uncrushed to protect the juice from oxidation. The aromas are thus preserved. Vatting lasts from 15 to 20 days, depending on the vintage. Some punching of the cap and pumping over are carried out, depending on the richness of the vintage. The wine is aged 40% in vats to preserve the freshness of the fruit, and 60% in barrels (2 to 5 years old) to complexify the palette of aromas. After malolactic fermentation (usually in May or June), the wine is racked and prepared for bottling 14 to 15 months after harvest. Filtration is generally not carried out, as the turbidity of the wines is very low
