Château La Gamaye - Folie Rouge Malbec 2019
91/100
Decanter
Combining rarity and elegance, Folie Rouge is crafted from Malbec vines averaging 50 years of age, a rarity in the Bordeaux vineyards. As graceful as a classical ballet dancer, this wine, with its intense purple hue, offers notes of violet, blackberry, dark fruit, and even tobacco. On the palate, it offers roundness and fruitiness supported by a silky, generous tannic structure. Treat yourself to a little indulgence!
