Simon Busser Chaos 2017

Simon Busser's property sits on a bend of the Lot River, 20 minutes west of Cahors. He lives there with his wife and young family and crafts high-quality, medium-bodied, refreshing red wines from 5ha of Malbec, Merlot and a little Tannat.

In the winery, apart from extreme diligence in terms of fruit selection and elevage, things are simple. All of the oak is very old, fermentation takes place in concrete and fruit is destemmed. The wines are lightly oxidative, and some have enough concentration and balance to evolve for many years.

A challenging, low-yielding year resulting in fruit with good quality and concentration. Destemmed and fermented in concrete with elevage in old barrels.
