Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage saw perfect weather with abundant sunshine and a cooling wind, resulting in a successful harvest of high quality and purity.

That's a real winner, and we're not just talking about the beautiful label. We're also talking about the aromas and flavors of this red Le Manpot. This red wine is made by Domaine Bassac, located in the triangle of Béziers, Pézénas, and Bédarieux. Since the early 1980s, they've been operating entirely organically, making them pioneers in the Languedoc region. The winery has a total of sixty hectares of vineyards in the very best locations in the region, which explains the exceptional beauty and refinement of this red Le Manpot. Jean-Philippe Leca is currently working as winemaker in the family business, and his sole goal is to create the finest wine in the south. Well, that's a real winner!

The old vineyard in Côtes de Thongue

The vineyards for this red wine are located in Côtes de Thongue, an area known for its abundant harvests. The old vineyards are filled with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah grapes. This quartet forms the foundation for this superb wine. The old, thick stems have deep roots, allowing them to draw abundant nutrients from the rich soil structure. This provides the foundation for a top-notch wine. Combined with the perfect climate, with abundant sunshine and cool breezes, it's a success story. All bunches are harvested separately, entirely by hand. Each bunch is inspected during harvest, which partly explains the pure style!

Wood aging for the red Le Manpot

Once the final blend is created by Jean-Philippe Leca, the entire wine is aged in oak barrels for twelve months. It develops into a true star, with great depth and richness. This is immediately apparent in the glass, as it develops a beautiful deep red hue with a purple glow. The aroma is overwhelming, with deep aromas of black fruit interspersed with notes of spice, gingerbread, vanilla, and cedar. The palate explodes on the tongue with refined flavors of blackberry and cassis, as well as licorice and stewed cherries. The finish is long and richly varied.
