Château Combel-la-Serre, Le Pur Fruit de Causse, Cahors

Julien Ilbert makes wonderfully vital and pure organic Malbecs, and this one is a selection of seven parcels on limestone and clay at 300m, vinified and aged in cement tanks. It features inky blue fruit, vibrant acidity and a grippy, sappy mouthfeel. Serious and gluggable.
