Invictus - 2020 - Fred Niger
Domaine de l'Ecu
Surprising nose, original, and very, very fruity: black cherry, blackberry, and strawberry... simply splendid! Palate: still very tight at this stage, but with great potential; this is a pure, chiselled Cabernet Franc. It's going to be very good, with just a little patience...

100% Cabernet Franc grown on granitic subsoil, from vines farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand, with yields around 30 hl/ha. The grapes are received at the winery by gravity, then 100% destemmed by hand, followed by maceration and maturation in amphorae for 8 months, with indigenous yeasts. Bottled at the estate, respecting the biodynamic calendar, without fining or filtration, and no added sulphites.

Fred Niger
Fred bought Domaine de l'Écu in 2010, with its perfect soils cultivated organically since 1972, then certified biodynamic by DEMETER in 1998. He’s been collaborating with Guy Bossard since 2014, the master of Muscadet. The pairing is simply miraculous. Fred, a novice at winegrowing but an unparalleled taster, knows exactly what he wants and what he intends to do for wine in the Muscadet....
