Jean-Louis TrocardBordeaux, France
Why you'll love it
This wine showcases the potential of Malbec in Bordeaux, offering a unique expression of the grape variety. Produced by the Trocard family, who have been vignerons since 1620, it reflects a rich winemaking heritage.
An expressive and structured wine with intense dark red-violet hues. The nose offers clean, intense aromas of black fruits, spices, cloves, and tobacco, with a touch of freshness. The palate is fresh, fleshy, and well-balanced, featuring notes of black fruits and smooth tannins, leading to a long finish with blackcurrant and redcurrant flavours.
Pairs well with red meats, game, and hearty stews. Its structure and complexity also make it suitable for aging.
Best known in Mendoza, Cahors
Argentina's signature red. Dark plum, blackberry and violets, with a soft, velvety texture that makes it very easy to like, with high-altitude Mendoza vineyards keeping it fresh. In its original home, Cahors, it makes firmer, darker and more rustic wines.
France
The world's most famous wine region. Left bank: Cabernet-led, structured, age-worthy. Right bank: Merlot-forward, plush, generous. The greatest châteaux set the global benchmark for red wine; the Entre-Deux-Mers makes brilliant dry whites.
