FRENCH WINE

Julien Ilbert makes wonderfully vital and pure organic Malbecs, and this one is a selection of seven parcels on limestone and clay at 300m, vinified and aged in cement tanks. It features inky blue fruit, vibrant acidity and a grippy, sappy mouthfeel.

Le Combal is a rich, full-bodied wine that offers notes of spices, dark chocolate and currants. Tannic, but not overpowering, it has a perfect texture.
