The Essence of Fabre Montmayou
Fabre Montmayou Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a testament to the winery’s dedication to excellence, showcasing the perfect marriage of Bordeaux elegance and the bold expression of Argentine terroir. Founded by Hervé Joyaux Fabre in the heart of Mendoza, this winery has been a pioneer in introducing the Bordeaux tradition to Argentine soil.
Winemaking Excellence
At Fabre Montmayou, the winemaking process is an art form. The Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, utilizing only the finest handpicked grapes from old-vine vineyards. These vineyards, located at an altitude of 1,150 meters, benefit from sunny days and cool nights, ensuring a slow ripening process that enhances the grape’s natural complexity and depth.
The winery’s commitment to traditional farming methods, without the use of herbicides, reflects a strong environmental ethos. This sustainable approach not only protects the land but also results in grapes of unparalleled quality.
Vinification and Aging
The journey of Fabre Montmayou Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon begins with a careful harvest of the ripest grapes, followed by a double selection process. Cold maceration enhances color and aroma while the extended fermentation period ensures the wine’s rich flavor profile.
Aging in 100% French oak barrels for 16 months imparts a refined complexity, with notes of cedar, liquorice, and subtle hints of tobacco emerging alongside the ripe dark fruit flavors. The additional bottle aging prior to release further integrates these elements, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and robust.
Tasting Profile
This luxurious wine pours a deep ruby red with violet hues, inviting you to explore its aromatic bouquet. The nose is rich with blackberries, raspberries, spices, and mint, complemented by the oak’s subtle influence.
On the palate, Fabre Montmayou Gran Reserva delivers a harmonious balance of fruit intensity, tannins, and oak. Its full-bodied structure and silky tannins provide a smooth, layered mouthfeel, leading to a persistent, elegant finish that lingers with notes of fruit and spice.
Perfect Pairings
The wine’s robust character makes it a perfect companion for hearty dishes such as grilled beef, lamb, or venison. It also pairs beautifully with rich cheeses and spiced dishes featuring rosemary or thyme, enhancing the dish’s flavors while elevating the wine’s own complex profile.
The Legacy of Fabre Montmayou
Fabre Montmayou’s Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is more than just a wine; it is an ambassador of Argentine viticulture, respectfully preserving the old vines while crafting wines that speak to both local and global palates.
