purple colour with violet tints
delicate and subtle, with a fresh and loooooong lasting finish
floral (peony), fruity (blackcurrant)
wild duck roasted rare, its dark, juicy flesh embracing the sun-drenched fruit of the vintage, with a few black cherries barely warmed and a leaf of red shiso, to reveal the peony and the long-drawn freshness of the wine.
Climate: Scorching heat, with record temperatures and persistent drought. The vines showed remarkable resilience despite extreme conditions.
Yield: Generally good, except in regions hit hard by drought like Languedoc and Roussillon.
General Profile: Rich, sun-kissed wines, ripe and concentrated.
Single vineyard “jardin” planted on silty clay soils with a limestone bedrock (Burdigalian).
Destemmed and whole bunch Merlot (50/50), 12-day skin maceration, free-run and press juices blended together. The Ugni Blanc is 100% destemmed and vinified separately. Made using indigenous yeasts (“wild yeasts”), K-Pop Caaaaaaat has no inputs at any point in the process. No chaptalization, no deacidification/acidification, no colouring, no thickening… we respect ourselves and we respect you. Fermentation in tanks, maturation on fine lees. Unfiltered. No added sulphites. Pure juice.
This wine was created by Christophe Kaczmarek and Michel Maestrojuan, winegrower from Domaine Entras, in Gascony’s heart (South West of France).
The wines are made, blended, bottled and packaged on site. From the vine to the cellar, everything is done with the aim of respecting nature, regenerating the soils, promoting biodiversity and respecting the people who are part of it.
Jordi, wine merchant at Le Sourire au Pied de l’Échelle, Paris 11
“From the very beginning, I was convinced by Caaaaaaat. First of all, the way Christophe shouts the name, again and again, you immediately sense there is an idea behind it. I was never worried that, in the end, the wines would be offbeat and built on strong convictions. And when I first tasted the Caaaaaaat wines, it was obvious. Free wines, original, yet approachable, with unbeatable price-to-pleasure ratios. From day one, the wines were an instant success at Le Sourire. The label catches attention, and then we can tell the story of the wine and the people behind it. Many times, customers bought a bottle saying ‘it’s for the joke’ or ‘my friend loves cats’. Then, not long after, they came back for more, simply because they loved the wine. In the end, there is no better compliment: when it’s good, you come back for it.”
Olivier Criou, Director at Miam Miam, Lithuania

“I remember the first time a Caaaaaaat landed in my glass. I said, word for word, ‘Whoaaaaa, I’m going to drink gallons of this stuff! Show me the label! Oh my gosh!’
It was Atomic Caaaaaaat, and I fell in love with the project. Then I met the creator, and it was love at first sight all over again.
Having a Caaaaaaat in your glass guarantees a good time, a great drink, and the chance to hunt for Easter eggs all over the label,all thoughtfully designed and crafted by a fantastic person who deserves to be in the spotlight!
Drink Caaaaaaat!”
