Clos d'Audhuy 2023 "Les Polissons"
Who would have thought that Malbec could be rendered so sheerly charming and pleasurable? The trick was a light extraction, a short maceration with pigeage and remontage, and relatively early bottling. Meet the friendly face of Cahors’ famous “Black Wine”. This new vintage is indecently joyous and gulpable.
