Details and technical informations about Winery Sanglier's Beau Cochon Cabernet Franc.
Discover the grape variety: Madeleine angevine
Aromatic, fresh dry whites with a pale hue, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with delicate notes of light muscat, citrus, white flowers, apple and florals. Thirst-quenching, drink young. Very early-ripening variety suited to northern climates: a quiet star of modern English wines, also grown in the Pacific Northwest and Anjou. Hybrid created in 1857 by Moreau-Robert in Anjou (madeleine royale × précoce de Malingre).

The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
