Manoir de la Tete Description
"peasant and responsible agriculture is a way of life and of thinking. when producing my grapes, i aspire to act sensibly for the people and the planet . this state of mind develops naturally from a respectful relationship with nature. since 1998, the vineyard has been cultivated and certified by ecocert in organic farming and since 2010 in biodynamic farming by biodyvin. knowing how to adapt to a changing environment requires constant questioning. the planting of forgotten grape varieties such as pineau d’aunis, the incorporation of trees into the cultivation of the vine (agroforestry) or the gradual abandonment of all modern oenology are avenues that i have followed for more than 20 years. other projects will emerge in the coming years. revitalizing authenticity, durability and liveliness is an integral part of the culture of my estate. the entire manoir de la tête rouge team and i are passionate about this peasant and caring approach.”
Tasting Note: Red carmine color, fresh raspberry and blackberry perfume, the palate is crisp and full of freshness, soft, silky tannins. Juicy and perfect cabernet franc that transports you to a sidewalk cafe in Paris sipping this lovely red out of a rocks glass until the entire bottle has vanished.
Vinous: 84 Points
The 2020 Saumur Bagatelle is a ripe, youthful and spicy expression that offers easy drinking and a supple frame of tannins that coat the palate with their chalky texture. A little more than light- bodied, it is soft and savory, featuring Chinese five-spice, pencil lead and red pepper on the medium-length finish.
