Extrême
This is the top quality vintage of Château Saint Louis, made from a blend of 50% Negrette and 50% Cabernet Franc. Delicacy, elegance and minerality are the characteristics of this unique wine. Grapes, meticulously hand-picked, come from the oldest plots of Negrette planted in 1965. After destemming, grapes are crushed and put into vats with little sulphites but enough natural sourdough so as to achieve the fermentation as naturally as possible. The vinification lasts 3 weeks and after several load sheddings, wine is matured in oak barrels during 13 months.

Naturellement Négrette
Only Negrette (also called Pinot Saint Georges), the native cultivar of the Fronton wine appellation, has been chosen for the elaboration of this fine and fresh wine. Both vinification and aging (during 12 months) have been made in tanks so as to reveal the best expression of Negrette : subtle alliance between red fruits, violet notes, liquorice and hints of spice.
