La Calmette - Vignes Noires 2021

(Cahors, France)

Part of La Calmette's single-vineyard range. This is perhaps one the more delicate, at least in the context of Malbec from Kimmeridgian soils. Wonderfully perfumed, dense purple and forest fruits, and so much immediacy on the palate. A complex and serious Malbec that manages to remain very juicy and an absolute joy to drink.

Domaine La Calmette was started in 2015 by Maya & Nicolas, a talented couple who bring not only a thorough knowledge of viticulture but also a meticulously researched scientific backbone to their natural wines. Explosive, bursting with life and vibrancy.
