Bordeaux, Bourg, Malbec - Les 5 du Vin - WordPress.com
L'article des 5 du Vin met en lumière le Malbec, un cépage historique de l'AOC Côtes de Bourg qui, bien que parfois délaissé, est aujourd'hui de plus en plus valorisé. Les Côtes de Bourg se distinguent par la proportion la plus élevée de Malbec dans le Bordelais, représentant 10% de leurs 3 400 hectares de vignes. Le Malbec, également connu sous le nom de Côt, est génétiquement lié au Prunelard et à la Magdeleine Noire des Charentes, ce qui en fait le demi-frère du Merlot. L'auteur, Marco, partage son expérience de dégustation d'une quinzaine de cuvées de Malbec des Côtes de Bourg, exprimant un enthousiasme généralisé pour ces vins. Il décrit en détail plusieurs vins dégustés, parmi lesquels on retrouve le Colline des Barrails Malbec 2015 du Château Relais de la Poste, le VI 2016 du Château Lacouture, l'Heritage 1757 2018 du Château Gros Moulin, Origines Ter Pointe 2019 de Tutiac, le Désir Pourpre 2019 du Château du Castenet, M de Côts 2020 du Château de Côts, Prestige La Dame de la Tuilerie 2020 du Château la Tuilerie, Côt à Côtes 2020 des Vignobles Raboutet, Vitis amphore 2020 du Château Beaulieu, La Cravate 2020 du Clos du Notaire, Ô ! Malbec 2021 du Château Haut-Macô, Gabin 2021 des Vignobles Dupuy, O Tour 2022 du Château Tour des Graves, et esmalbec 2022 du Château Martinat. Ces vins, issus de divers terroirs et méthodes de vinification (dont des élevages en amphore et des pratiques biodynamiques), ont globalement conquis le comité de dégustation par leur fraîcheur, leur fruité, leur structure et leur élégance, confirmant le renouveau et la qualité du Malbec dans cette appellation bordelaise.
