Domaine Bousquet Malbec Reserve: High-Altitude Organic Power from Mendoza

The Domaine Bousquet Malbec Reserve is a stellar example of high-value, organic Argentine wine. Sourced from the family’s certified organic vineyards at 4,000 feet in the Tupungato region of the Uco Valley, this Reserve successfully blends New World fruit intensity with Old World elegance, thanks to the family’s French winemaking heritage. It’s a full-bodied, structured red that delivers incredible complexity for its class.

Tasting Notes (Malbec Reserve)

• Color: Deep, opaque purple with a brilliant magenta rim.
• Aroma: Rich and expressive, featuring concentrated aromas of black plum, blackberry, and violet, beautifully intertwined with notes of vanilla, mocha, and sweet tobacco acquired during French oak aging.
• Palate: The wine is full and structured, offering a velvety mouthfeel and flavors of ripe black fruit. The high-altitude origin ensures a refreshing, vibrant acidity that balances the wine’s richness, leading to a long, polished finish with silky tannins.

Pairing & Serving

This Malbec Reserve is built for the grill. Decant for 30 minutes and serve at 62-64°F (17-18°C) to fully open up its complex layers.

• Food Pairing: Perfect with Argentine Asado (Grilled Steaks), BBQ Beef Ribs, Hearty Beef Stew, or a selection of strong aged cheeses.
