2020 Côte Lavande Malbec

About The Wine

A ‘tip of the hat’ to the light-hearted, forward thinking style of the late 1920’s, inspired by the bright, vibrant Art Deco travel posters of the time, Côte Lavande will take you back to those very days of sunshine, travel and carefree decadence. Bringing that philosophy to a classic range of Southern French wines, produced by the enigmatic Château Canet estate in the Languedoc, Côte Lavande embodies all that is fun in life.

About Côte Lavande

A traditional 19th century wine estate, today Château Canet is recognised as one of the leading domaines of the Minervois region in the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon. The 45 hectares of vineyards are complimented with 3 hectares of olive groves and over 65 hectares of farmland and pine forests. With the buildings nestled at its centre the setting of the estate is truly enchanting, having uninterrupted views over the vineyards and olive groves to the Alaric mountains in the distance.
 
All of the original buildings are still in use, although they have been significantly modernised. The old winery is now fitted with state-of-the-art wine making equipment. The stables are now used as an ageing cellar where the wines quietly mature until ready to be bottled and enjoyed. The wines of Château Canet are crafted under the careful guidance of owner Floris Lemstra and oenologist Nathalie Leclercq who are responsible for the Côte Lavande wines.
