A powerful Malbec from the great terroir of Cahors, yet here made without oak. Violet notes dominate the nose, with pure and fresh dark fruits, and approachable crunchy tannins. There are some spicy earth aromas alongside red berries, cherries and notes of fresh tobacco. Fresh yet super complex.

It really says something about the French winemaking scene that the Jouffreau family, who produce their hugely characterful wines in Gamot - a village in south-west France - can trace their winemaking ancestry back to the 15th century… and this barely raises an eyebrow. This is a part of the world where fine winemaking is the very lifeblood of local industry, and where serving a meal without a solid glass of red is likely to get you banished from your village for life. The Jouffreau clan, with their centuries of expertise, really know how to make the most of their awesome terroir, which produces the grapes used to make the Le Gamotin wines which have become something of a cult hit in recent years. Designed to be young, crisp, and hugely satisfying when paired with simple, rustic meals, these are the wines which form the backbone of the cute French bistro that lives permanently in your imagination. You know the one that we mean. Delightfully, the Jouffreau family like to compare this series of wines with the character of Gavroche from Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables whenever possible. It couldn’t be more thrillingly French if it tried.
