"A product of the infusion vinification of well-ripened Malbec on siderolithic, the wine exhibits the characteristics of its amphora ageing. A little cold, but very elegant, the nose needs air to reveal its note of red fruit and licorice, with a mineral detail in the finish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF)

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated wine (guide 2022) 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A product of the infusion vinification of well-ripened Malbec on siderolithic, the wine displays the characteristics of its amphora ageing. A little cold, but very elegant, the nose needs air to reveal its notes of red fruit and licorice, with a mineral detail on the finish.
About the domain :
Fabien Jouves, who works organically on the slopes of Trespoux, the highest area of the appellation, offers a range of refined wines that respect the identity of the terroirs, even to the point of claiming the geological origin on the label of his Burgundy bottles. Offering a contemporary approach, the cuvées have the dual advantage of precision and freshness; however, depending on the type of ageing, there may be a certain coldness in the definition of the materials.
