This grape, cherished by our ancestors, finds a unique expression on our estate. Located just 2 km from the Château de Chenonceau, we craft this wine for lovers of structured, authentic, and deep red wines. Tasting Notes Appearance: A deep and intense robe with purple and violet highlights, characteristic of the great Touraine Côt wines. Nose: A powerful and luscious bouquet of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) enhanced by delicate notes of violet and occasionally a hint of sweet spices. Palate: A bold attack with great body. The tannins are present yet silky, offering a solid structure that coats the palate. It reveals the generosity of black fruit with a persistent, slightly licorice finish. "Les Marreux" Terroir & Vinification This cuvée is the result of precision work both in the vineyard and the cellar: Grape Variety: 100% Côt (Malbec). Terroir: Clay-limestone plots rich in flint (silex), benefiting from optimal exposure for perfect grape ripeness. Sustainable Farming: HVE (High Environmental Value) certified. We prioritize soil health to extract the quintessence of the grape variety. Vinification: Traditional with controlled maceration to extract color and aromas while maintaining suppleness. Food & Wine Pairing: What to eat with a Touraine Côt? The Côt "Les Marreux" is a gastronomic wine that pairs best with flavorful dishes: Meats: A beautiful grilled rib of beef, a leg of lamb with herbs, or feathered game. Local Specialties: Ideal with regional delicacies such as Rillettes de Tours PGI or traditional "petit salé" with lentils. Cheeses: Perfect with aged pressed cheeses (Cantal, Tomme de Savoie). Service: Ideally decant 1 hour before serving or serve between 16°C and 18°C. Cellaring: Best enjoyed after 3 to 5 years of aging. The Winemaker's Note "Côt was our ancestors' favorite. With the Les Marreux cuvée, we wanted to create a wine with body that remains elegant—a wine meant for sharing during a great family meal."
