Velvety & Meaty
Vignobles Arbeau was started in 1878, when Anne Arbeau's great-great-grandmother purchased the estate.
About 50% of the estate is planted with Negrette and the remaining vines are a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, and Fer Servadou (an alternative name in Gaillac for Braucol!). The Arbeau family practices sustainable farming and hopes to gain organic certification in the near future. They use native yeasts and there is no filtration.
Vignobles Arbeau On L'appelle Négrette is a smooth and intense red wine. On the nose there is raspberry, blackberry and wild blueberry. The palate is meaty, with hints of liquorice. Velvety tannins. Elegant and very pleasant.
This wine goes very well with red meats and strong cheeses such as Livarot, Munster...
