    In a few words ...

    Made with grapes from the best plots, rigorously selected and hand-picked, it benefits from meticulous winemaking, enhanced by long ageing. Malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, followed by 24 months of ageing. L'Empereur is the leader of the estate's wolf pack and the worthy partner of La Souveraine. A great wine.

    A marvel. A wine with unique character and incredible density. An explosion of flavors on the palate, with exceptional length.

    A powerfully aromatic wine with notes of almost candied red fruit. A perfect match for prime rib.

    Fruity and powerful, a fine expression of the Malpère terroir, no need to wait to drink it.
