WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Grand Gourmet Malbec is produced by Maison Marlère, a négociant house that sources grapes from winegrowers in the Sud-Ouest region of France. The wine is made from 100% Malbec. Fermentation is typically carried out in stainless steel vats, a technique that helps to preserve the wine's fresh fruit characteristics. Aging, for similar wines in the Maison Marlère portfolio, also takes place in stainless steel tanks, focusing on maintaining the wine's vibrant profile. The producer's philosophy centers on showcasing the quality and diversity of Southwest French wines through authentic sourcing.
