Its robe is a dark red. Its nose, beautifully intense, is dominated by fruit aromas (black cherries) mingled with hints of spices. It's a fruit-forward wine, finishing with fine and elegant tannins. It can be stored in the cellar for several years to evolve into notes of blond tobacco. Perfect for pairing with red meats, saucy dishes, or aged cheeses.
Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux combines traditions and the modern techniques of winemaking to respect the malbec in its original terroir. He is constantly trying to optimize the potential of the malbec, that he often named “the Diva grape, it can produce incredible wines, but you have to give her your best first! ”
Now Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux manages the estates with the same passion as his father, maintaining tradition while introducing innovative methods. A major winemaker and oenologist in France himself, he took his passion for the Malbec grape to the Mendoza region in Argentina, hiring Paul Hobbs, a famous oenologist and Malbec wine-producer in Argentina, as a consultant. The cooperation brought an exceptional 2009 vintage and the new Icône cuvées.
