Maison Advinam - La Bouffonne 2019
Maison Advinam is located in Saint-Morillon, in the Graves region of Bordeaux. The wines are produced in Gironde and Roussillon by Anne Buiatti, in the philosophy of natural wines. This neo-winegrower produces three vintages: La Donna, La Bouffonne and L’Allumée. It has the particularity of using Syrah de Calce in its blends and has recently planted new grape varieties: Castet, Mérille, Carménère and Cabernet Sauvignon.
This 2019 vintage of the Bouffonne cuvée is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The Merlot is cultivated on flint, the Cabernet Sauvignon on clay and the two grape varieties are "hermitaged" as in the 19th century with the powerful Syrah. Aging lasts 12 months in 300-litres barrels and 750-litres amphora before being combined in a wooden vat for the end of aging. The wine is then aged for another 6 months in the bottle.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah
