Terroir: ‘Les Signols’, the nickname given to our family by the inhabitants of Cerdon in the 1900s to distinguish all the Dubreuil families in the village. Little by little forgotten, we wanted to remember our roots and name this cuvée ‘Les Signols’.
Typical of the appellation, this cuvée comes from vines planted on steep hillsides (up to 60% slope) with clay-limestone soils facing south-south-east. It is made from 100% Gamay Noir with white juice.
Vinification: The grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press to extract maximum aromas and colour. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve all the quality potential acquired in the vines. It is then stopped by cooling the vat and bottled, where the bubbling gently starts again. This 100% natural method, with no added liqueur, yeast or sugar, is known as the ‘ancestral method’.
This process produces wines with a low alcohol content of 8°, semi-dry with 40-50g of sugar/litre.
Tasting notes : Very nice pink colour, slightly acidic on the palate, with red fruit aromas and very well balanced.
Enjoy as an aperitif or with dessert, and serve chilled.
Wine and food pairing: An ideal partner for a convivial occasion, this wine is a perfect accompaniment to honours wines, weddings, christenings...
With a bit of imagination, he'll get to grips with some fine gourmet recipes, such as Bresse poultry with Cerdon and even a few caramelised sauces.
