The Alliance cuvée is crafted from a rigorous selection of Syrah and Grenache, carefully aged for 16 to 18 months in barrels. This meticulous process gives the wine its finesse and elegance, with a silky texture that develops and evolves over the years. The Syrahs planted on basalt and the Grenache from Mrs. Bertrand’s own vineyard bring roundness and freshness, respectively, to this unique cuvée, which is perfectly structured for extended aging.

Our Review of the Cuvée

Visually, the Alliance cuvée displays a dark, translucent garnet color, promising a sensory journey. On the nose, it captivates with notes of blackberry coulis, violet, and incense, accented by a hint of smoked pepper. On the palate, it offers roundness and an airy fullness, adorned with a fine, enveloping texture. The fruity and floral complexity, subtly spiced, unfolds with noble bitter notes reminiscent of cherry pits, bringing freshness and vibrancy. The finish is marked by a delicate, chalky texture, leaving a pleasant lingering finish with floral and spicy notes.

Domaine de Malavieille

Languedoc | France

In Languedoc, Domaine de Malavieille cultivates a diverse range of Mediterranean grape varieties using biodynamic practices. The vineyard's terroir partly consists of volcanic soils, which impart a discernible structure and persistence to the wines, evident in both reds and whites.

The red wines combine dark fruit characteristics with supple tannins, resulting from measured extractions. The white wines lean towards more taut and spicy profiles, built on freshness and balance. Vinification processes prioritize directness of expression and clarity of the juices, without pursuing a demonstrative style or technical over-elaboration.

The entirety of the estate's work is based on meticulous observation of the vines and a steadfast cultural consistency. The cuvées offer a clear and structured interpretation of their originating terroir, presenting straightforward and assertive profiles.
