Le Gouleyant Malbec Pur Fruit offers a distinctive and delightfully approachable interpretation of Malbec, crafted by the celebrated Vigouroux family, who have passionately specialized in this noble grape in France since 1887. This particular wine is a testament to their dedication to capturing the purest expression of the fruit.
While rooted in the historic Cahors region, this Malbec is designated as a Vin de France, allowing the Vigouroux family the flexibility to perfect its "Pur Fruit" style. This is achieved through meticulous vinification in stainless steel tanks, featuring a cold infusion of the berries and a deliberately short maceration period. These techniques are key to extracting vibrant primary fruit aromas while ensuring the tannins remain delicate, enveloped, and creamy, avoiding any harshness.
The result is a wine with a captivating dark robe and an inviting nose brimming with ripe black fruit and blackcurrant notes. On the palate, Le Gouleyant is generously fruit-forward and intense, its delicate tannins contributing to a remarkably smooth and enjoyable texture. This intense and fruity red wine is wonderfully versatile, perfect as an engaging aperitif or paired with grilled meats, showcasing a modern, accessible, and purely enjoyable face of French Malbec.
