Domaine Mosse 2024 Bangarang

Notes from the importers - Living Wines:
A much-loved négoce wine we are so happy to have this just as the weather warms. The grapes, from Faye d'Anjou are about 30 years old, from a mix of soil but mostly influenced by schist. It is 70% Pineau d'Aunis, 20% Grolleau Noir, 10% Cabernet Franc. To keep it light and almost a rosé the Pineau d'Aunis and Grolleau Noir are directly-pressed. The destemmed Cabernet Franc was macerated for 8 days. Each variety was aged separately (in tanks for the directly-pressed varieties and barrels for the Cabernet Franc (for 5 months). A blend was made one month before bottling in February 2025. The Mosses recommend a perfect serving temperature is about 10 degrees but if it's a choice between room temperature and refrigerated choose refrigerated every time! Their tasting notes say "Light colour, aromas of red fruits and white pepper. Lively attack, fresh and fruity wine." and they also note "Grand Toboggan"! They may somehow relate to our view that as usual it disappears far too quickly.
