C’ Nature 2021 - BIB 3L
For this wine, in a festive format, the grapes are coming from mountain plots in conversion to become organic. Blend of Syrah, Grenache Noir et Cinsault, C’ Nature presents a nice flavoured wine with an expressive palate of ripe black fruits and spices.
DOMAINE
The Domaine de Cazaban is situated in the foothills of the “Montagne Noire” (Black Mountain). The property consists of 27ha, of which 22ha are planted with vines. These vines are planted on fine soils of clay, limestone and schist which affords
the grapes an exceptional quality and diversity of style.
IN THE VINEYARD
The Domaine has been certified organic since 2007 with 17ha converted to biodynamic, gaining Demeter certification in 2013. All of the fertilizing treatments that are used are prepared on the Domaine using the Domaine’ own compost. Cow horn manure (500 P) and Silica (501) are applied on all vines. Any additional treatments that may be used comprise of nettles, horsetail and/or valerian. The vines are pruned depending on their variety in either the single guyot or goblet methods. A manual de-budding and removal of the suckers is done, and trimming (or topping) has been replaced with leaf trellising.
THE VINIFICATION PROCESS
For this wine, the grapes are coming from mountain plots in conversion to become organic. The grapes are sorted and de-stemmed before being put into the vat. The grapes are gravity fed to preserve the quality and purity of the fruit. The vinification then proceeds without any chemical, or oenological, intervention. The wines are allowed to follow nature’s course. The fermentation lasts two weeks and a low temperature of 20°C is maintained to ensure a slow extraction, without any punching down or pumping over. Packing takes place at the end of the second quarter, with no added sulphites.
