utopie Bordeaux Supérieur
89-91 Points from Vinous / Antonio Galloni
Merlot — Malbec
From equal proportions of Merlot and Malbec, this red provides a glimpse into winemaker Florence’s personal experience and excellent abilities. It is sourced from vineyards grown in clay and limestone soils, and matures in oak vats.
In the glass, “utopie” is harmonious and complex with aromas of blackberry, cocoa, plum preserves and nutmeg, with energetic acidity and soft tannins carrying through the finish.
