2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"The intense, almost black color suggests that the grapes have reached a beautiful level of ripeness. The nose confirms this, offering lovely notes of cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry. On the palate, with its almost sweet roundness, generous, tight tannins, and well-balanced structure, the wine enriches the aromatic profile with subtle spicy notes. The density of the fruit and the exceptional length of this cuvée are sure to win you over.”(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About wine:

The intense, almost black color suggests that the grapes have reached a beautiful level of ripeness. The nose confirms this, offering lovely notes of cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry. On the palate, with its almost sweet roundness, generous, firm tannins, and well-balanced structure, the wine enriches the aromatic profile with subtle spicy notes. The density of the fruit and the exceptional length of this cuvée are truly captivating.

About the estate:

Michèle Mallard-Etchegaray, the founder’s daughter, handed over the reins of the estate (52 hectares) to her sons, Vincent and Hervé, in 2010. The cellar, carved into hard limestone, houses all the estate’s older vintages produced since 1950. A sure bet.
