CÔME ISAMBERT LE PÈRE LICAN 2018

Nickname for Come’s Grandpa - named  after him for first vintage in 2017. Pere Li Can - the feeding person of the family. -  His hair was a bit like the feather of the pelican. 

100% Grolleau Noir from Saint Georges sur Layon, grown on schiste a very good year for Grolleau. Destemmed by hand - 3 weeks in tanks punchdowned by hand, pressing off in a vertical press and blending press and running juice. Aged in two barrels - 600l barrel for 20 months. There were a few bunches in the tank to help filter the wine which also infused into the wine to give some structure. A wonderfully deep and elegant Grolleau which is drinking beautifully.
