Once the grapes have absorbed all the nutrients from the environment and reached perfect ripeness, they are harvested by hand. Bunch by bunch is inspected and harvested early in the morning. Only the finest bunches are used in this red wine, and besides the Cabernet Sauvignon, a small amount of Malbec is added to give it some depth. The entire wine is then aged for ten months in French oak barrels in the Domaine Bousquet cellars. This wine, left to its own devices, slowly develops into a true gem with a wealth of powerful aromas and flavors.
Upon pouring, we see a deep red color with purple glints, suggesting a top-notch wine. Nosing the glass, we encounter a beautiful bouquet of blackberry, tertiary aromas of tobacco, and leather. The palate is very complex, offering a warm mouthfeel, ripe notes of raspberry, and refined oak. On the back of the tongue, this red wine also reveals hints of a certain spice and abundant black fruit, such as cherries and blackberries. The finish reveals beautifully refined tannins with good intensity. A wine that lends itself perfectly to pairing with red meat or game.
