Full of bramble fruit, fresh and expressive on the nose, smells rich and ripe with the softest hint of perfume. Unfussy, fruit to the fore, with a brightness to the blackcurrant and red cherry fruit. A subtle creaminess, too, which lends definition and texture. Good acidity with freshness and life. Some dryness to the tannins at the end.

The 2019 La Réserve de Malartic is a soft, charming wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Succulent red cherry, spice, dried leaves, tobacco, blood orange and incense give the 2019 lovely complexity to match its mid-weight personality.
