2020 Cuvée Joëlle Malbec et Merlot

Following in the delicious footsteps of its previous gold medal-winning vintage, 2020 Cuvée Joëlle Malbec et Merlot promises bold yet elegant flavor. Made from grapes grown in sunny South West France, this blend is an expression of the best qualities of the Malbec and Merlot grape varieties. Glistening gorgeous, rich dark red in the glass, this dry red blend opens with a mix of delicate and ripe red berries joined by florals on the nose. On the palate, predominantly fruity notes are accented with Mediterranean spices and cedar. Supple tannins offer a persistent finish in this wine, which is quite approachable and enjoyable for any occasion. This blend is presented by Georges Vigouroux, a family that has passed a love of wine across generations since 1887. Having built a reputation as one of the finest Malbec producers in France, having earned a “Malbec Masters” title at the 2022 Global Malbec Masters competition, Georges Vigouroux seeks to instill a sense of joie de vivre, or zest for life, into every bottle they craft. Best served slightly chilled, 2020 Cuvée Joëlle Malbec et Merlot makes a lovely aperitif. This blend also pairs nicely with dishes garlic roast chicken, pork tenderloin, lamb chops, grilled mushrooms, and flavorful cheese plates including blue cheese and gorgonzola.
