L'Espace Bleu entre les Nuages - 2021 et 2022 - Maya Sallée et Nicolas Fernandez
Domaine La Calmette
A great gastronomic wine, concentrated on notes of cherry, aniseed and a hint of toasted notes. Ample, long, luscious mouthfeel. The cherry on the top is the lively, mineral acidity that promises an excellent aging potential. Worth decanting.

100% Malbec, a blend of the 2021 and 2022 vintages, from 40-year-old vines in conversion to organics, planted on a single 0.7-ha plot of reddish clay-limestone soil, facing North-East, surrounded by woods, above the village. The grapes are harvested by hand with crates, destemmed, and transferred to vats by gravity, followed by gentle maceration, and one and two years of maturation on lees in barrels that have seen 3-4 wines. Bottled at the estate without fining or filtration, and just a micro-dose of sulphur.
