As a tribute to her, the Malet Roquefort family created COMTESSE DE\u003cbr\u003eMALET ROQUEFORT, a wine that gives all wine lovers a chance to share the elegance\u003cbr\u003eandsilkiness typical of the family’s wines. It is made from a rigorous selection of grapes, the\u003cbr\u003evast majority from family estates.\u003cbr\u003eVineyard\u003cbr\u003eAREA: From family estate and partners on the Right Bank\u003cbr\u003eSOIL: Clay \u0026amp; sandy - mainly Merlot and Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003eBlend comtesse red\u003cbr\u003e90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eViticulture\u003cbr\u003eSingle guyot pruning.

The hot and dry\u003cbr\u003eseason brought about great water stress to the plant but limited the sanitary risk. However,\u003cbr\u003eour vines are mostly on hillsides with clay soils, so those received sufficient water supply.\u003cbr\u003eThe harvest was early: from the beginning of September for the downslopes vines. The\u003cbr\u003emonth of September - very hot but marked by two rainy episodes – favoured an optimum\u003cbr\u003eripeness of merlots and a very aromatic expression of Cabernets.\u003cbr\u003egreen practices\u003cbr\u003e- Certified Organic (Haute valeur enviromentale OCACIA-Vineyard specific\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galaxy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45840839934113,"sku":"089419509861","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1683\/4409\/files\/comtesse_mag-4060492705.png?v=1774046211","url":"https:\/\/shop.bos.wine\/products\/comtesse-de-malet-roquefort-bordeaux-rouge-2022","provider":"Bo's Wine Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
