Decanter
Combining rarity and elegance, Folie rouge is made from Malbec vines averaging 50 years of age, which are rarely found in Bordeaux vineyards. As graceful as a classical ballet dancer, the cuvée's intense purple color reveals notes of violets, blackberries, black fruits and even tobacco. The palate is round and fruity, with a silky, generous tannic structure. Dare to splurge!
