“Beautiful aromas of prunes and apricots with some hints of mushrooms and forest floor. American oak supports the wine with some ‘sweetness’ of black cherries and vanilla. On the palate it is opulent with soft, ripe tannins and a good acid balance. “.

Winemaker notes
The vines are planted in narrower rows than what is traditionally the norm for the area. This forces the roots to compete for nutrients and moisture deep in the soil with small roots even penetrating the granite bedrock.
Deux Frères has a westerly aspect. The canopies of the vines protect the bunch area from the sharp morning sun, but as the day progresses and the sun moves over to the western side, the bunches are exposed to the more mellow afternoon sun.
The vines are planted in a north south direction allowing the South-Easter wind to move freely through the rows. This cools the grapes down, lengthening the ripening period to achieve optimal ripeness and acts a giant blow drier, drying any moisture from occasional rain.
