Altolandon - L'Ame - Malbec Sancerre The estate’s modern history began100% Malbec. Altolandon were pioneers in this area; they saw that with the altitude, the thermal amplitude & the levels of insolation, they were in a privileged place for this variety. Rosalia worked with Malbec in Mendoza as a wine maker before & thats where she fell in love with this variety. Despite this, the Malbec clones they have here come from France. LAme comes from the French Alma which means Soul & this wine reflects the fullest expression
