Château la Coustarelle is owned by Michel and Nadine Cassot and located in the village of Prayssac, next to the renowned Clos de Gamot. Today, their daughter Caroline has officially taken over winemaking duties and is showcasing the deep plush fruit of the appellation's signature malbec grape. Their 30-year-old vines are planted on slopes that give yields of between 45-50 hl/ha. This blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot shows a deep ruby color. Delicate nuances of vanilla on the nose buttresses substantial amounts of lucious fruit. On the palate, this medium + bodied red exhibits plenty of ripe blackberry fruit on the palate, along with a hint of licorice. Fine tannin is extremely well-integrated on the finish. Delicious now and over the next several years with cassoulet or roast duck!
