Vignes Noires

€28.00

Wow. Ethereal. Savoury and willowy. So fresh, so fine. A deep and graceful delicacy with notes of blackcurrants, violets, bay leaves and crushed olives. Quite extraordinary.

From a single plot of 20 year old Malbec vines planted on a clay-limestone slope with a bedrock of Kimmeridgian limestone. Hand-harvested. 20% not destemmed. Gentle maceration and aging for 18 months in large oak foudres. Unfined. Unfiltered. Very light dose of sulfites on bottling (1g/hl).

12.5% ABV. Vintage 2023

About the Winemakers
