Tchin Cheers/Barbara Lebled "Hey! Un Dernier Côt?" 2023 Côt Vin De France Loire

750ml bottle

12% abv

Round and supple, easy to drink, lots of red fruit and earth, fleshy, tobacco on the finish.

Côt (Malbec) from Touraine in the central-eastern Loire Valley from 40-50 year-old, organically cultivated vines. The grapes are hand-harvested and go through whole-cluster, full carbonic maceration for 25 days in enamel-lined steel tanks prior to pressing and a short maturation. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2.

The name of the wine is a play on words. "Hey! A Dernier Coup?" roughly translates to "Hey, one last drink?".
