Notes on the Wine
Made from vines averaging about 50 years old, the Malacare is primarily Syrah (60%) and Grenache (25%) with a small amount of Carignan (10%), and comes from southwest-facing slopes of sandy soil. After a fairly long cuvaison of about 3 weeks, the wine is aged mostly in concrete for roughly a year, with the Syrah partly aged in large barrels before being bottled.
Notes on the Supplier
The Bastide du Claux was born in 2002 from the strong will to associate Sylvain Morey’s traditional burgundian vision of the winemaking craft with the new dynamic of a rising wine region: the Luberon AOC.
In the authentic and protected Provence, in the heart of the Luberon National Park, the Bastide du Claux grows a fragmented 15 ha vineyard. Offering a rich combination of soils, climates and exposures, the land dictates our work : to highlight its characteristics, to respect its natural balance , and to preserve the right gesture.
Year after year, this search has led us to isolate certain qualitatively superior terroirs to define a range of wines that are intended to reflect the individuality of this beautiful region.
In recognition of this philosophy , Bastide du Claux became a member of “Les Gobeloteurs ” ( www.gobeloteurs.fr ), a group of generous winemakers gathering some of the most exciting French winemakers.
