Maverlan Rose Sezanne 2019
Olivier Pucek has lived in the Charente since 1990. Passionate about wine and viticulture, it was while looking for a few acres of vines that he discovered the historic vineyard of Saint-Sornin: a sloping hillside facing south, where vines have been grown since the 17th century. With the help of Henri Jammet, a pioneer with his famous Guimbelot vineyard, he planted in 2009 a little more than 2 hectares of vines. He focused on Gamay à Jus blanc, and also Gamay de Bouze (a forgotten grape variety of Burgundian origin, with red juice) and Pinot Noir. Thus was born MAVERLAN.
This rosé is made from a very old plot of vines, which was put back into production in 2019. The grape varieties, many forgotten, are diverse: Jurançon Noir, Villard Noir, Plantet ... These hybrids, little by little, are being re-cultivated. Most of them do not require any treatment. The wine is neither fined nor filtered before being bottled. 600 bottles were produced.
