Domaine de Quissat - 100 pour 100, 2021 - IGP Agenais (bio)

* No shipping, please collect in one of our shops *

This cuvée has been around since 2008, the first year that Domaine de Quissat produced wine without added sulphites. It is therefore called ‘100 pour 100’ because it is 100% grape, and nothing else! It is made from Merlot grapes grown on vines that are around twenty years old. The vineyard is located on a south-facing hillside above a small limestone cliff overlooking the small valley of La Masse, a tributary of the Garonne. The soil is moderately deep and clay-limestone.

A supple and fruity wine meant to be enjoyed with friends. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of its aromas.

Le Domaine de Quissat is a 50-hectare family farm located in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne hills. It is run by Romaric and Agathe Hardy, farmer-winemakers. The small 5-hectare vineyard has been organically farmed since 2000 in a preserved environment, surrounded by woods and plots that are also organically farmed, in the commune of Bazens. 

The grapes are harvested by hand, the yeasts are indigenous, the addition of sulphites is kept to a minimum and several cuvées are produced without added sulphites or any other additives. The Biocohérence label for the entire farm and the Vin Méthode Nature label for some of the cuvées reflect a desire to work as virtuously as possible.
