2022 was a hot and dry year in Bordeaux leading to an early harvest and lot of concentrated fruit, deep colour and elevated structure. This modern classic style of Bordeaux red was made by de-stemming the grapes and putting them in a steel tank to macerate and ferment for 20 days. Gently extracting colour and flavour whilst minimising tannin extraction. After the initial racking the skins were carefully pressed in a small vertical press and the wines were combined for aging. The wine was moved from the steel tanks after 7 months and put into used 500L oak barrels where they were aged without regular topping up for a further 2.5 years. This process has allowed the wine to soften and bring the dark fruit forward.

At Shuette, you discover natural wines crafted with deep respect for the vineyard and the fruit. We don’t chase a fixed style — instead, we match each vintage to what nature gives us, letting the true character of the grapes shine. Our 4.5 ha vineyard, organically farmed by hand for over 30 years, sits on deep clay and schist soils by the Dordogne River. Every vine is tended individually using regenerative, organic methods to regenerate the soil and ecosystem. We harvest by hand at peak ripeness and ferment naturally, without additives. The result is living, evolving wines that express the true soul of our terroir.
