About the Terroir and Wine Making
Grape variety Cabernet franc
Soil The Cornélius 1831 vintage is the illustration of a superb selection of hundred-year-old vines on a tufa terroir.
Vinification Long maceration in temperature-controlled concrete vats: This technique extracts a maximum of phenolic compounds such as tannins, anthocyanins and other aromas that enrich the wine's taste, color and structure.
Extraction via regular pumping-over: This process consists of pumping the juice from the bottom of the vat and pouring it over the top of the marc, thus favoring uniform extraction of phenolic compounds and aromas.
Aged for 12 months in 225-litre French oak barrels.

Millesime description
Let's stop now in Bourgueil, on the right bank of the Loire, where Bourgueil Cornelius 1831 is made. Its name refers to a book by Balzac, Maitre Cornelius, in which the "good wine" of Bourgueil is celebrated. Here, the hundred-year-old vines grow on a tuff terroir. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, the wine is frank and generous, ideal for a convivial break with friends.
Advice tasting
Appearance Dense purple colour with purplish highlights.
Aroma An intense first nose of red fruit (raspberry, redcurrant). The second nose is spicy (pepper, cinnamon), with hints of garrigue and aromas of red berries, strawberries and blackberries.
Flavour Straightforward, greedy attack of just-picked fruit. Round and delicious. Notes of vanilla and toast. The tannins are generous, revealing a wine made for laying down. The finish is greedy and generous while retaining its freshness. greedy and generous while retaining its mouth-watering freshness.
