Maison Pouget Gold Cut 2019

Description

Maison Pouget Corte Oro 2019 is a collector’s wine and one of the most exclusive red blends made in Argentina. Produced in a limited series of 2,332 numbered bottles and officially declared of National Interest by the Presidency of Argentina (Resolution Nº 162), this wine combines high-altitude old-vine fruit with a unique, hand-crafted bottle that turns it into a true luxury object.

“A tribute to excellence and craftsmanship, Corte Oro delivers layered aromas of ripe black fruits, violets, cocoa, sweet spices and a refined toasted note from its aging in new oak. On the palate it is deep and plush, with fine-grained tannins, great balance and a long, elegant and persistent finish.”

The bottle itself is a piece of art: created by Maison Pouget’s sculptors, it portrays men and women holding up the globe, symbolizing our shared responsibility to sustain the planet and the legacy we leave behind. Each piece was developed and finished between Argentina, Germany and Chile to achieve the highest level of detail and perfection.
