The Haute Pièce Parlange & Illouz 2022 is a red wine from the Cahors region of France, crafted exclusively from Malbec grapes. This vintage emerges from a singular plot situated on a high limestone plateau, achieving an alcohol level of 13.5%. Winemakers Germaine Parlange and Maya Illouz adhere to biodynamic principles, employing minimal intervention techniques such as fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats. The maturation process takes place in used oak barrels, allowing for soft tannin integration without imparting excessive wood character. The wine presents a profile of black plums, violets, and a pronounced iron-like minerality, steering clear of the rustic, over-extracted styles typically associated with Cahors.
