Domaine Elian Da Ros - Wine is a party 2021
Domaine Elian Da Ros is located in Cocumont in the Côtes du Marmandais , on the left bank of the Garonne. Elian Da Ros , son of a farmer, dreamed of being a winegrower since his childhood and began studying viticulture and oenology at the age of 14. After working in Alsace for 5 years, he returned to his region of origin and built his cellar. In 1998, he signed his first vintage. Today, the estate extends over 19 hectares, certified organic since 2000, and biodynamic since 2002.
Le Vin est une Fête is a blend of Abouriou (40%), Cabernet Franc (40%) and Merlot (20%) . The Merlot and Cabernet Franc are destemmed, then vatted in open concrete vats for 8 to 10 days. The extractions are gentle. The Abouriou is vatted in whole bunches and vinified by semi-carbonic maceration. The aging lasts 10 months in tuns and barrels of several wines , then one month in concrete vats .
To compensate for two consecutive years of hail, Elian Da Ros buys some grapes from a winegrower friend, intended only for the cuvée Le Vin est une Fête, which is therefore not certified organic .
Grapes: 40% Abouriou, 40% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot
