Château La Gamaye - Folie Rouge Malbec 2019
91/100
Decanter
Combining rarity and elegance, Folie Rouge comes from Malbec vines that are 50 years old on average, which are not very common in the Bordeaux vineyards. As graceful as a classical ballet dancer, this cuvée has an intense purple color and releases notes of violet, blackberry, black fruits, and even tobacco. On the palate, it is round and fruity with silky, generous tannins. Dare to indulge in a little folly!
