Award
Yves Beck :
- 92/100
- “This Malbec signals from the outset that it feels very much at home in Montagne! Proof is in its varietal character, respectively intense floral notes, spices and red berries. Freshness is also underlined on the palate, right from the attack, where the wine adopts a linear, slender, balanced yet powerful character. A sapid, salivating wine, underpinned by tight tannins and an incisive acidic structure that’s set for the future – very well indeed!”

Like a rosé

Award
Yves Beck :
- 88/100 pts
- “A fresh bouquet with inviting notes of cherry and blackberry. Juicy and sapid on the palate. Everything flows smoothly and linearly, with a refreshing, thirst-quenching character! A summer wine to enjoy with grilled meats, for example!”
