Château Famaey
Le Grès dans le Grès
The good wine is the story of a terroir and the hand of man guiding the vine to its best level. For this cuvée from a specific plot known as Le Grez, I chose to age it in a clay jar. Thus, the grez is in the clay to please you!
It's a beautiful marriage between the clays of the plot and the clays of the jar!
In terms of tasting, this wine presents a lovely tension, freshness accompanied by fruit like cherries and blackcurrants, but also chocolatey, peppery notes, and a delicate fragrance of roses.
A Malbec with character, but very well tamed by its fine and precise aging.
