    In a few words ...

    La Marginale is made from Cabernet Franc grapes. The south-facing vines have the particularity of warming up before the others and achieving excellent ripeness. This cuvée is produced by the Roches Neuves estate only in the best years. The domaine works biodynamically, producing wines of great purity. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats, followed by 12 months' barrel ageing. The cuvée is powerful, well-balanced, complex and ideal for laying down.

    Elegant and rare, this is the estate's flagship cuvée, made only during great vintages. Concentrated on the palate, with a fleshy texture and imposing structure.

    The pure expression of Cabernet Franc! A fine estate reference that works wonders with meats in sauce.

    A powerful wine in every respect! I recommend leaving it in the cellar for another 2 or 3 years for optimum tasting!
