Serpent à Plumes Rouge - 2023 - La Calmette

90% Malbec and 10% Merlot from four parcels of 20- to 50-year-old vines, planted on 4 hectares of clay-limestone soils. One small plot was taken over in winter 2021 and was in its third and final year of organic conversion. Part of the grapes were vinified as whole clusters, another part via direct pressing, and the rest was destemmed for gentle macerations lasting 6 to 8 days. Aged for one year on the lees in stainless steel tanks. Unfined, unfiltered, and bottled with just 1 g/hl of SO2.
