Chateau de Malengin Eve 2020, A.C. Montagne Saint-Emilion, France

Regular price £38.95

This wine bears the name of Eve, one of Benjamin and Ariane de Rothschild’s four daughters. Eve is thus associated with the revival of Château de Malengin, whose origins date back to 1330. The Château de Malengin Eve cuvée is a wine with a contemporary, fruity and crisp profile, predominantly aged in amphorae (between 50% and 90% depending on the vintage) for 12 months. It breaks with Bordeaux’s traditional codes of barrel ageing and reveals the very essence of the region’s terroir in full candour.

With only 13,000 bottles created, this rare amphora-aged Merlot exudes a creamy nose of blueberry, cassis and violets. The palate is intense and defined with great concentration of fruit. Serve with a dish rich in protein, or cellar for many years to come.
