Detailed Product Information:
“The only Malbec in the entire Lalande de Pomerol appellation, this wine is made from a selection of vines on sandy gravel terroir with yields kept intentionally low to ensure high-quality expression in the grapes. A generous, spicy wine with a lovely freshness, mingling flavours of black fruit (blackcurrants, blueberries), flowers (violets), and creamy notes of vanilla. Very well-balanced and harmonious.”
