Wine Cheval Quancard, “Marcel Q4” Moelleux, 2021

Description

The line of wines “Marcel Q” is a tribute to the 3rd and 5th generation of the Kankar family. The wines of this original line are a bit rebellious, breaking away from the traditional rules of any AOC appellation. Any wine “Marseille Q” will remind you of a carefree childhood and stir up the desire for new taste adventures!

“Marcel Q4” Moelleux – soft white wine with a pleasant, sweet taste, which is used for the manufacture of selected grape varieties Ugni Blanc and Colombard. The grapes are grown on the west coast of France in a maritime climate. The soils of the vineyards are clay-lime and bulben (clay sandstone). Harvested mechanically. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. To preserve the natural sweetness, fermentation is forcibly stopped before it ends by a sharp decrease in temperature. The wine is also aged in steel tanks for a short time.

The family company Cheval Kankar was established in 1844, when Pierre Kankar founded the trading company “Kankar and Son” and, striving for excellence in everything, traveled a lot, looking for exceptional wines, and then acquired his own vineyard and seriously engaged in winemaking. Today, Cheval Cancar owns the best land and Chteau in Bordeaux, and the slogan sounds like: “All the wines of Bordeaux in their diversity.” Here, winemaking traditions are highly respected, but at the same time they rely on the results of modern research in the field of vine cultivation. As a result of this approach, excellent wines are born, the high quality of which has been repeatedly awarded prestigious awards.
Two sons of Pierre Kankar inherited from his father a love of winemaking. Eugene once went on a trip around the world to learn new technologies and bring fresh ideas to the family business, while his brother John, meanwhile, supported the winery created by his father. Since 1968, the family has been actively expanding its land holdings. To date, the company “Cheval Quancard” is managed by Eugene’s grandson – Roland.
