2016 Domaine Grandes Esperances Supernova Malbec

The 2016 Domaine Grandes Espérances Supernova Malbec is a richly expressive French Malbec crafted from mature vineyards in the Loire Valley, showcasing exceptional depth, elegance and bottle-aged complexity. The nose is beautifully developed, revealing aromas of blackberry, black plum and dried cherry, complemented by notes of violet, dark chocolate, liquorice, tobacco and subtle earthy spice.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with velvety, well-integrated tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, concentrated texture, delivering flavours of ripe black fruits, plum and cassis layered with hints of cocoa, cedar, leather and savoury herbs. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, highlighting the richness of Malbec with the added complexity that comes from careful bottle ageing.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking to experience a mature French Malbec with generous fruit, silky texture and savoury complexity. Beautifully approachable now, it is ideal for enjoying over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb, braised beef, duck confit or mature hard cheeses.
