Eolithe is the main cuvée of Château de Fosse-Sèche and a great introduction to the distinctive features of its wines: elegance and precision, minerality, spicy/peppery and tense fruity aromas. Made exclusively of Cabernet Franc, produced with a short maceration but a long maturation on lees, this red wine is fit as an athlete and as such manages to combine freshness and power. A perfect match for a rack of lamb, duck breast or fried mushrooms. Best served between 12 and 14°.

This 2017 vintage benefited from sunnier conditions than the year before to offer a more open body and a wine that can be drunk now as well as in the coming 20 years.
