Merlot V.V., Tsoume, Simon Maye et Fils - 2020

Provenance: Valais
Appellation: Valais
Domain: Simon Maye & Fils
Grape variety(ies): Merlot
On-call time: 15 years
Alcohol degree: 13%

Along with the estate's Pinot V.V., it is the most advanced vintage in the cellar, achieving a real stylistic revolution! The new vintage has an astonishingly greedy nose, with notes of strawberries in wine, then evolving into mentholated nuances (after-eight). It offers an elegant, suave and very refined palate. A pure delight, which will continue to become more complex in bottle.

Technique

Viticulture

On the place called "Tsoume" on the Chamoson alluvial cone in a limestone soil. Made from old vines, cultivated in the shape of a Lyre, with a very low yield (35 hl/ha), harvested at 98° Oe. The estate is in the process of converting to organic farming (biosuisse).

Oenology

Destemmed harvest, maceration with punching down for 21 days. Aged for 20 months, 12 months in 300-litre barrels and 8 months in concrete tanks. Bottled at the end of July without filtration.
