Les Chemins de Bassac Roussanne 2021

Winemaker: Bruno & Thama Trigueiro

Grapes: Roussanne

Vineyard: 15 years old vines on on limestone and clay originating from ancient Quaternary alluvial terraces at around 100 m altitude.

Winemaking: The grapes are gently pressed and a light debourbage by cold is made. The clear must is vatted for the fermentation which takes place in concrete tanks. After aging for 5 months the wine is bottled by gravity, without filtration or fining, with just a light sulfur addition.

Bruno and Thama Trigueiro were tired of their hectic life as architects in Sao Paolo, so when Bruno’s brother-in-law pitched the idea of taking on a wine estate in the south of France, the couple and their daughter moved to Puimisson to begin their journey at Chemins de Bassac. No enological products or additives of any kind were used in the vines previously, and Bruno and Thama have continued that tradition. Lovely sweaty melon fruits and a supple finish. Great aperitif wine!
