R107927 - 2021 Château La Communion Cuvée Louis XVI BASF Exklusiv (12 Bottles)

The roots of the Hervé family can be traced back to 1607 when Jean-Marie Hervé, a sailor from Brittany serving the King of France, disembarked once and for all at the end of his career to settle in the parish of Saillans. When Jean-Noël Hervé replanted the original vineyards, he found huge rocks underneath: Limestone stones! The truth is therefore undeniable. The terroir of Château La Communion is fantastic! Today’s owner of the estate, Thomas Hervé considers the work accomplished in the vineyard as the most essential for the quality of the wines produced. To start with, the age of the vines, one third of which are easily over 50 years old. All the necessary manual tasks – restrictive pruning, crown suckering, topping, removal of leaves from the heart of the shoot, crop thinning, removal of leaves on the east side and then on the west side – are performed to ensure that the grapes produced are the healthiest, purest and most characteristic of their variety.This is a brand new BASF Exklusiv Bordeaux produced by the young and very talented winemaker Thomas Hervé. 
This especially for BASF exclsuiv selected Bordeaux wine consists of 100 % Merlot. The tannins are smooth and soft, typical for a great vintage like 2020 was. The wine is already drinkable but with a good capacity for storing for the next 5-10 years.
