The Irouleguy Rouge “Domaine” cuvée is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 20% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tannat. The parcels are on both sandstone and limestone soils. Fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts and maceration lasts for two to three weeks. The wine is aged in barrels for twelve months with rackings done every three months. Intense nose of red berries, and spices. Full bodied and rich with an intense tannic structure and firm acidic backbone. The wine will pair beautifully with rich meat dishes but also with eggplant based vegetable dishes..
