This wine was vinified for 25 days in concrete vats, and then fermented with 15% whole clusters and ambient yeasts. The temperature was kept at 26 °C throughout the entire process, in order to main the purity of the fruit aromas. It was then aged in untoasted, 3,500-litreFrench oak foudres for 15 months.Coming from one of the top ‘crus’ within the vineyard, this wine truly embodies the ever-more burgundian approach to top Malbecs over the previous bordeaux-styleschool. Blind-tasting students beware… It feels like a youthful Gevrey-Chambertin! The tannins are filagree and the acidity is vibrant with lighter fruit concentration, but a savoury mineral backbone and a floral flourish at the end. As approachable as it is now, this is still a baby – a wine which should evolve nicely for decades to come.(AB)
