The Clos Malverne Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot is an incredibly soft, supple and accessible wine. Deep dark red in the glass, it presents itself with a slightly herbaceous and berry character from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, rounded off with a pleasant fresh fruitiness from the Merlot. A rather light representative of this kind of red wine cuvée.

The grapes for this classic cuvée were hand-picked at optimum maturity and on arrival in the cellar were completely destemmed, crushed and fermented on the skins for 7 days at controlled 25-30° C in open fermentation tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to the traditional basket press. The juice that ran off freely was left to malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matured for 12 months in 225 l barrels of 80% French and 20% American oak. After the fermentation was completed, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were blended and bottled slightly refined.
