Four generations of the Roche family have worked the vineyards at Château Croze de Pys, cultivating the local variety `Cot` (Malbec).
This wine is a blend of Malbec and Merlot grapes, from a family who has been growing vines since 1773 in this region.
This red displays that history with lots of heft, concentration and depth. Overall a fine wine.
A rich, full-bodied modern approach to a very traditional wine ensures a supple, balanced wine with red berry fruit and a touch of oak spice.
Opaque ruby in colour with a touch of purple, offers splendid aromas of blackberries, damson plums, violets, blue fruits and a hint of spice. Complex, carrying very fine fruit, notably firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a lovely hint of plums on the finish. Impressive purity, elegance and balance.
