Maison Pouget Corte Oro 2019

Description

Maison Pouget Corte Oro 2019 is a masterpiece of Argentine art and winemaking, officially recognized as “Of National Interest” by the Presidency of the Nation (Resolution No. 162). This Malbec and Petit Verdot blend, produced in a limited edition of 2,332 bottles, represents the highest expression of elegance, dedication, and luxury in Argentine wine.

"Corte Oro is a tribute to excellence, tradition, and sustainability. On the nose, it reveals intense aromatic complexity, with notes of ripe black fruits, violets, sweet tobacco, cocoa, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is deep, silky, and harmonious, with fine, rounded tannins that envelop a vibrant fruit core. The finish is long, refined, and persistent, showing an elegant balance between power and subtlety."

The wine is housed in a unique sculptural bottle, created by visual artists and sculptors from Maison Pouget. Forged in metal and finished in a gold color, the piece depicts men and women holding the planet Earth— a symbol of humanity’s commitment to nature and the responsibility to preserve the world. Every detail was developed across Argentina, Germany, and Chile, in pursuit of perfection in each individual component.
