Virtus - 2020 - Vignoble de l’Ecu
Fred Niger
A full, expressive nose of blackberries, blackcurrant, blueberry and intense notes of spice and white pepper. The attack is suave, then intense yet charming on the mid-palate, fine tannins, beautiful volume, chiselled fruit flavours, and finally a red berry finish with a fine acidity.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon for this vintage, from biodynamically farmed vines rooted in gneiss and orthogneiss soils. The grapes were harvested by hand, in the cellar the grapes are moved by gravity therefore without any pumps. Natural vinification: total destemming, 10 days of maceration, indigenous yeasts, soft pressing, 24 months of aging in concrete tanks. Unfined, unfiltered, minimal sulfur added to stabilize the wine in bottle.

Fred bought Vignoble de l'Écu in 2010, with its perfect soils cultivated organically since 1972, then certified biodynamic by DEMETER in 1998. He’s been collaborating with Guy Bossard since 2014, the master of Muscadet. The pairing is simply miraculous. Fred, a novice at winegrowing but an unparalleled taster, knows exactly what he wants and what he intends to do for wine in the Muscadet....
