Xavier's vines grow on a fine gravel soil over a deep limestone subsoil. The gravity-fed winery is designed for the gentlest processing of the hand-harvested grapes. Fermentation takes place in small, thermo-regulated vats,and lasts 20 to 30 days depending on the variety. Malolactic fermentation is in cement vats before the wine is transferred to French oak barrels (25% new) for twelve months.
Château Calvimont Rouge wine is fine-tuned and accomplished graves from an historic producer. Crunchy, hedgerow fruit with fine balance, medium, well-judged tannins, very drinkable and fresh on the finish. Pair with beef or venison dishes.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
