Tasting notes

A garnet red robe, the nose of intense raspberry, rhubarb, and smoky wooded and licorice aromas. In mouth a burst of fresh acidity makes this wine feminine and elegant. It finishes on its supple yet pervasive tannins that linger in mouth. It is unique in its combination of concentrated fruit, complex aromas and body.

Description

Jadix is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from the South West of France. It is produced from vineyards located near the Boutenac hills of the Corbieres appellation. The vines border the Orbieu River and lay just outside of the Corbieres appellation in a little village called Luc-sur-Orbieu. The vines are planted on terraces of gravel soils over a subsoil of limestone and clay. The combination of soil plus the fact that it is located so close to the river gives the Cabernet Sauvignon the perfect humidity to thrive.

The name of this wine, Jadix, comes from the French meaning of “once-upon-a-time”, in homage to the romans who cultivated the first vineyards in this rVines egion. The Mediterranean climate, dry, sunny and warm, favors the long cycles of the vine, while the north-western wind present all year round makes it possible to avoid excessive treatments in the vines. This flawless climate also allows the Jadix wine to be extremely expressive in color and aromas. This Jean-Christophe and Margaret Calvet selection of Cabernet Sauvignon is sure to impress you with its smooth velvety touch in mouth and its long persistence on the finish, leaving you salivating and craving more. It is bound to compete with any other Cabernet Sauvignon from this region. Enjoy it alone or with steaks, lamb, pork, grilled meats and Mediterranean styled dishes.

Vinification

Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that is grown in clay and limestone soils where the average age of vines is 25 years with low yields. All farming follows environmentally friendly viticulture. After fermentation, the wine is aged in tank for one year, with 5 weeks of oak staves maceration. The final wine is then bottled unfined & unfiltered.
