Domaine Laroque D'Antan Nigrine Rouge 2019

Nigrine is a tryst of cabernet franc and malbec. Again, this is a true field blend. In 2019 Emmanuel Bourguignon picked on freshness, looking to harness purity, delicacy and finesse, and wanting to “capture the freshness of the rocks”. In a region where many wines come in at a chewy 14-15%, this chimes in at a dainty 12.5% abv. Silky and flavourful, with both refined depth and subtlety, this is a wine singing with personality. Natural energy plays out in shades of fruit and flowers, chalky tannin and smooth, balancing acidity with a hint of bloodiness on the finish pointing to its southwestern roots. - Bibendum, importer 2019 // 750ml // ABV 12.5%
