Ludovic Pouzol, Malbec, IGP Pays d'Oc, Rouge, 2024

Presentation

The Ludovic POUZOL range highlights the largest vineyard in the world, Le Pays d'Oc, located in the south of France. It features a wide variety of terroirs, from the sunny shores of the Mediterranean in the south, to the mountain foothills of the Cévennes in the north, and from the banks of the Rhône in the east to the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Terroir

This Malbec comes from several vineyards: in Hérault, on hot lands of rolled pebbles, which add depth and color, and in Aude, where it gains in freshness and finesse.

Winemaking

The grapes, harvested at perfect ripeness, are fully destemmed and then vinified in temperature-controlled concrete vats. The maceration, lasting 2 to 3 weeks with daily pump-overs, gently extracts the tannins. After fermentation, the juice is pressed using a pneumatic press and aged in oak barrels for 7 to 9 months.

Varietal

Malbec : 100%

Tasting

This Malbec presents a ruby color with red reflections. Its powerful nose combines spices, licorice, red and black fruits, with a touch of violet. On the palate, it is supple and well-structured, with fruity aromas, persistent spices, and fine tannins providing a beautiful length. This wine, typical of the grape variety, combines power and balanced freshness.

Food pairings

Serve at 16°C with a cheese platter, Mediterranean dishes such as ratatouille, a tagine, or grilled red meat.
