François Lurton-Bodega Piedra Negra GRAN MALBEC 2023 0,75l
This Gran Malbec from the Uco Valley reflects the depth of high‑altitude Andean terroirs. The nose shows black fruit, violets and a hint of graphite. On the palate it is juicy, structured and refined, supported by subtle mineral notes. Gentle herbal tones and discreet oak add complexity. The tannins are ripe and smoothly integrated. A characterful Malbec that pairs beautifully with beef, lamb or matured cheese.
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.
