Winemakers: Fabien Jouves
 
Grapes: Malbec (Côt)
 
Characteristics: Were you used to Argentinian Malbecs where you feel the tannins more than the aromas? Nothing to see ! The cuvée is aptly named because here everything is in the fruit! A real thirst-quenching wine! Behind its purplish color, its nose is very expressive, offering notes of blackberry, raspberry, a few spices and above all a fermentative aspect that will delight our friends in search of barren aromatics. On the palate it's light, easy, you empty your glass quickly. The tannins are silky and come with lightness accompanied by an explosion of fruit and freshness. Its finish is greedy and long with a dominance of fruit and some farmy and spicy notes.
 
Pairing: The best accompaniment for Fabien's wine? Sausage and friends!
 
Aging: Between 2 and 4 years
 
Alcohol: 13% Vol.
 
Cultivation: Organic farming and manual harvesting on vines with an average age of 25 years, blending of several plots. Clay-limestone soils
