Laura David - Mon Mojo - Loire Valley

Grapes: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Côt
Abv: 13%
Region: Loire (Vin de France)

Terroir: Planted in the clayey flint soils of Montlouis, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Côt vineyards benefit from the freshness of Montlouis terroirs. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are 40 years old, while the Côt vines are 60 years old, both facing East/West. Yields are moderate, at around 40 hectoliters per hectare.

Winemaking: In the cellar, the harvests are separated and maceration lasts approximately three weeks with 2 to 3 pump-overs per week. The aim is to achieve suppleness in the wine without extracting excessive tannic structure. Aging takes place for about 8 months in tanks to preserve a luscious fruit character. There's a gentle filtration and sulfiting before bottling, resulting in a total of 20mg/l of SO2.
