Chateau Famaey
Le Grez
Good wine is the story of a terroir and the hand of man to guide the vine and achieve its best possible expression. For this cuvée ,from a plot called Le Grez, we chose to age it in clay amphoras. Le Grez , a beautiful marriage between the clays of the plot and the clays of the amphoras!
At the tasting level, this wine presents a beautiful tension, freshness accompanied by fruit such as cherries, blackcurrant but also chocolate, peppery notes and a delicate scent of roses.
A Malbec with character but very well tamed by its fine and precise elevage.
