Comte de Malartic Rouge 2018
The reds are beautifully crafted. The Merlot offers a sublime mid-palate, with a silkiness and density that are rarely achieved. The Cabernet is spectacular, with exceptional aromatic profiles and levels of quality. The Petit-Verdots, co-fermented with the merlots, are particularly silky.
58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
āRich with smooth tannins and generous blackberry fruits. A soft texture, ripe fruitiness and fine depth and density all contribute to a wine that will age well over the medium-term.ā ā Roger Voss at Wine Enthusiast
