Les Tetes Bordeaux Superiore AOC Triangles 2019

Les Tètes is a small wine project run collaboratively by four winemaker friends, Nicolas Grosbois and Philippe Mesnier (of Domaine des Hauts Baigneux) and Baptiste and Vivien Martin. They are located in the village of Le Pressoir in Touraine Azay-le-Rideau in the Loire Valley, but they also work with vineyards in Bordeaux. Les Tètes is focused on bringing fresh and fruity competitively-priced wines that are grown organically and fermented with native yeasts and with only minimal sulfur added. In their own words, “Les Tétes is about friendship, and wines you drink with friends.”

Triangles is Merlot from a friends 1.5 hectare vineyard of 35 year old vines planted on clay and limestone, somewhere on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Farming is biodynamic, harvest is by hand, and fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeast in concrete tank, where it’s then aged for 12 months before being bottled un-fined, and only lightly filtered.
