Georges Vigouroux Château Leret-Monpezat 2018

Georges Vigouroux Château Leret-Monpezat is a distinguished red wine hailing from the renowned vineyards between Albas and Belaye in France. This blend predominantly features Malbec (90%) with a touch of Merlot (10%), grown on a terroir characterized by clay-limestone soil and ancient alluvial deposits. The vineyard, replanted between 1965 and 1975, employs sustainable farming practices, including cover cropping, leaf thinning, green harvesting, yield management, and extended maturation to ensure optimal grape quality. The winemaking process involves traditional, lengthy vinifications with classic pump-overs, extracting deep color and rich substance. Rigorous temperature control and meticulous oversight define this wine, resulting in a Château Leret Malbec Réserve that is robust, expressive, and true to its terroir.
