Origins of the cuveeShaped by arid conditions and the noble winds of the Mistral and Tramontane, this high-altitude terroir benefits from exceptional natural ventilation, preserving freshness and purity. Limestone, basalt and flint soils bring tension, energy and a clear mineral expression, giving rise to precise, luminous and deeply expressive wines.
TerroirDrawn from hillside parcels rooted in soils shaped during the Cretaceous period.
VinificationSourced from a rigorous parcel selection at the heart of the high-altitude terroir, this Malbec is harvested at night at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. A four-day cold pre-fermentation maceration promotes precise extraction of colour and aromatic expression. Each parcel is vinified separately at moderate temperatures, fully revealing its individuality. The vatting is extended by a seven-day warm post-fermentation maceration, bringing finesse, structure and silky tannins.
AgeingA 4 to 6 month ageing on fine lees, enhances the wine’s complexity and depth.
Winemaker's notesWith its deep purple-red colour, this wine reveals a broad and complex bouquet of plum, violet and delicate peppery spices. The palate is energetic and generous, offering intense black fruit and spice flavours, carried through to a remarkably long finish.
Food/wine pairingAn excellent match for rosemary-roasted lamb or duck confit.
Best served at 15°C.
