Greta Carbo

The name is a giveaway of the mode of vinification! “Greta”, as we know her, is the result of the collaboration between Sebastien and Ponpon. Made using a pure carbonic maceration, this is another single parcel cuvée.

The Cabernet Franc grapes come from the tiny plot Hardouine where the millerandage-prone fruit (where the berries on the same bunch vary in size and maturity) is subtly different to the other cabernets of the domaine.

Here, carbonic maceration gives the wine a singular identity; its silky texture holding a flavour all its own. Vegetal, fruity and peppery, it has a delicate and magical depth on the palate. The perfect wine to linger over: everyone has their own interpretation.
