Domaine Nico Soeur et Frères, Grand Mère, Pinot Noir 2022
DESCRIPTION
Flagship of Laura Catena and Roy Urvieta, Domaine Nico Grand Mère 2022 embodies excellence in high-altitude Pinot Noir. From Burgundian clones (667 and 115) cultivated at 1120m on loamy soils of Tupungato, this wine reveals the unique potential of Argentine terroirs.
On the nose, it seduces with aromas of wild flowers, dried red berries and blackcurrant, accompanied by subtle black pepper notes. The palate, elegant and fresh, unveils silky texture offering beautiful length and refined finish.
Aged 14 months in François Frères barrels (10% new), it expresses structure and finesse. A wine of character to serve with red tuna tataki or roasted quail with figs. Its aging potential of 10 years promises remarkable evolution.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine region in Argentina. Set on a high altitude plateau at the edge of the Andes, the province accounts for around 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape Malbec has found its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is without doubt the star of the region, you will also find many plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc.

Aromas of blueberries and cherries with that marine touch that makes all the difference. On the palate, it's fresh, vibrant, with incredible minerality - a wine that has character but remains elegant. Keep it for a few years, it's going to be great!
