When you think of the Malbec grape, Argentina often immediately comes to mind. And more specifically: Mendoza. In this wine region, the blood of the Malbec grape flows like a meandering river through the landscape. Without Malbec, wine production in Mendoza would never have reached its current size. However, the origins of this grape are truly in France—Bordeaux to be precise. Fortunately, this powerhouse is being discovered in more and more regions, including the south of France.
Aude, an innovative wine region
Les Volets Malbec is produced by the Boutinot winery in the beautiful vineyards of the Aude, a department named after the eponymous river that meanders through the idyllic landscape. The department runs roughly from Narbonne, past Carcassonne, and extends almost to Toulouse. It is part of the Languedoc region; many a wine drinker will recognize this. While 40 years ago the quality was still subpar, it has risen dramatically. Just look at this dazzling Les Volets Malbec. A world-class Malbec; a single sip will transport you to a delightful daydream from which you won't want to wake.
