80% Malbec, 20% Merlot. The nose opens with concentrated dark fruit — black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry — layered with violet, lavender, and a subtle hint of thyme. Underneath, wet stone and earthy minerality emerge, reflecting the Lot Valley's alluvial soils. On entry, rich black fruit floods the palate — plum, cherry, and blackcurrant — with a supple, approachable texture. At mid-palate, faint oak spice and a note of dark chocolate surface, while firm tannins provide solid structure. The fruit is concentrated without being overly jammy, maintaining a freshness that keeps the wine lively and focused. The finish is lingering and moderately tannic, with cranberry and black pepper trailing alongside a subtle earthy bitterness. A whisper of forest floor and meaty complexity adds dimension as it fades.
