A Malbec with a velvety touch. Les ailes de Mercuès, soft and round, is a nod to the winged sandals of the god of travel, Mercury, who marked the history of this unique place. The vines grow on the gravelly hilltops surrounding the château, on the third terraces of the communes of Caillac and Mercuès. Planting density is very high, at 6666 vines per hectare. This siliceous-clay terroir with its coveted Mindel soils (ancient quaternary) is ideal for growing vines, producing concentrated wines with great ageing potential. VINIFICATION & AGEING - Aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness of the aromas. - The wine rests in bottle for 6 months before release.
