Maison Advinam - La Bouffonne 2020
Maison Advinam is located in Saint-Morillon, in the Graves in Bordeaux . The wines are produced in Gironde and Roussillon by Anne Buiatti , in the philosophy of natural wines. This new winegrower produces three cuvées: 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 2020 vintage of the Bouffonne cuvée is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah . The Merlot is grown on flint, the Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel and clay and the two grape varieties are "hermitaged" as in the 19th century with the powerful Syrah. Fermentation is carried out in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. Aging lasts 12 months in 300 liter barrels and 750 liter amphora before being blended and aged for another 12 months in bottle.
