Romorantin "Frileuse" - 2020 - Thierry Puzelat
Clos Tue-Boeuf

A 100% Romorantin cuvée, from organically farmed vines planted on a 0.9 hectare parcel, with flinty clay soils. Vines of 3 to 115 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand and the yields are controlled. Viticulture and winemaking are 100% natural: direct pressing, long aging in Burgundian oak barrels that have seen several wines, for 20 months. Bottled at the Estate with a tiny dose of sulphur on the 3rd of May 2022.
