Description
Sang de Terre 2024 is a natural wine crafted by Clos Bateau, in the Beaujolais region in . This red wine is made with grapes which are aged in Qvevri right outside the house, and we found the previous 2023 vintage featured a delicious chocolate, cherry note with touches of cinnamon, celery and underripe red plum.
We are yet to try the 2024 but expect a similar profile! 🙂
About Sang de Terre from Clos Bateau
Since we decided in 2022 to dig 2 Georgian Qvevri’s in our garden, we knew we had to do something special with it. After our experiments with different grapes and periods of maceration it was clear for us. We love the grape Pinot Noir and decide to do very long macerations with it and since vintage ’22 our cuvée Sang de Terre was born.
After 10 months maceration we decided it was ready to press. With a small bucket we must take out all the grapes and we press it with our wooden press. After pressing the wine takes a nap of 1,5 month in barrel and it was time to bottle!
Production of JUST 570 bottles
