Bordeaux
Petite Terre - 2021 - Antonin Jamois
L'Ile Rouge
A very fruity expression of Merlot, with notes of small black berries, blackcurrants, and blueberries... With its ultra smooth and fluid palate – it’s a world away from your father-in-law’s Bordeaux! – this is a pure delight, with mellow tannins, lots of freshness and suppleness.

100% Merlot from vines grown organically and planted on shallow clay and limestone soils. Manual harvest on the 11th of 12th of September, in small crates. Vinification: all the work is done by gravity, carbonic maceration of the whole bunches for 15 days, soft pressing, and blending of the free-run and press juice right after, for the end of the alcoholic fermentation. Four months of aging in stainless steel tanks. Bottled on the 4th of February 2022 without fining nor filtration, and just a micro-dose of sulphur (1.5 gr / hl).
Antonin Jamois
Antonin Jamois, born in 1979 and originally from Paris, was in no way predestined to become a winegrower... After studying agronomy, he left for Argentina and Brazil, then settled for 10 years in Madagascar (hence the name of the Estate!) where he worked as an aquaculturist and as a scuba diver. It is the birth of his daughter that motivates him to come back to France in 2014. Antonin returns...
