Calmel & Joseph Villa Blanche Malbec
This new vintage of Malbec from the Villa Blanche signature by Calmel & Joseph shows harmony, particularity, and originality. Grown in a Mediterranean climate with continental cool humidity, the grapes are naturally fresh and well-matured, which gives the wine both balance and power. Full-bodied, deliciously fruity, woody, and spicy, it will pair well with duck breast, a mushroom fricassee, or roasted camembert.
