François Lurton-Bodega Piedra Negra Alta Colección Malbec Mendoza 2024 0,75l
Bodega Piedra Negra Alta Colección Malbec comes from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley and highlights the fresh, precise side of Argentinian Malbec. The bouquet is filled with dark berries, black cherry and violets, joined by hints of pepper, gentle smokiness and a touch of coffee. On the palate the wine is juicy and concentrated yet elegant, with pure fruit, ripe tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of cocoa and spice underline the mineral-driven character. The finish is medium to long, combining freshness with fine-grained structure. A modern Malbec that works beautifully on its own or alongside grilled meats and flavourful pasta dishes.
At the foothills of the Andes in Argentina, in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, François Lurton-Bodega Piedra Negra feels like a high‑desert experiment turned grand: a pioneer estate built on 200 hectares of virgin land, now within the Geographical Indication of Los Chacayes, at more than 1,100 metres....
Malbec, also called Côt in France, is known for deep colour, plum, blackberry, black cherry, violet and spicy notes. Styles range from smooth and fruit-driven to powerful and structured.
It pairs especially well with steak, grilled meats, lamb, braised dishes, mushrooms and mature cheese. Malbec is exciting because it shows both Argentine richness and the firmer, traditional character of Cahors.
