Sauvagine
Rouge
Identity
Blend of Monarch, Syrah and Cabernet Franc.
Monarch is a naturally disease-resistant grape variety, particularly against downy mildew. Developed in 1988, it is the result of a cross between Dornfelder and Solaris.
Still relatively rare, this grape also offers a solution for adapting to rising temperatures, as it accumulates low sugar levels and produces wines with more moderate alcohol content.
It is a variety with great aromatic potential, yielding fruity, deeply colored wines.
The vines grow on clay-silt soils over a deep, well-drained gravelly subsoil, yielding fresh, well-structured wines. Located along the edge of a wetland, the vineyard plots are home to characteristic wildlife, including several endangered species: the otter, noctule bat, western marsh harrier, and marbled newt.
After harvest, the Syrah and Cabernet Franc berries undergo cold skin maceration to extract their full fruity potential. Vinification then takes place in concrete tanks to promote micro-oxygenation. The Monarch undergoes integral barrel vinification, revealing the full complexity of this grape variety. The wine is subsequently aged for 12 months in 2- to 3-year-old oak barrels.

Tasting
Sauvagine Rouge displays a deep garnet color.
The nose is marked by notes of raspberry, blackberry, and black pepper.
On the palate, the fruit and spice aromas gradually give way to notes of cocoa and licorice, characteristic of the Monarch grape. The whole is balanced by well-controlled acidity and smooth tannins.
To pair with...
Sauvagine Rouge pairs wonderfully with spicy flavors, such as chili and black pepper.
The nose reveals fresh fruit aromas, while smooth tannins offer a well-balanced sensation on the palate. The wine’s spicy notes then complement the dish’s aromatic bouquet.
It makes a perfect pairing with a red curry, mushroom bourguignon, or falafels.
