(2018 Vintage Notes)
Malbec
elegant
Combining rarity and elegance, Folie Rouge is crafted from Malbec vines with an average age of 50 years—a variety rarely found in the Bordeaux vineyards. As graceful as a classical ballet dancer, this wine, with its intense purple hue, offers notes of violet, blackberry, dark fruits, and even tobacco. On the palate, it offers roundness and fruitiness supported by a silky, generous tannic structure. Treat yourself to a little indulgence!
