Liberté is the most recent union between Cooper’s Hawk and the Boisset family. If the name Boisset sounds familiar, it’s because Wine Club Members have enjoyed several releases in partnership with Jean-Charles Boisset, such as Collaboration, Collaboration Deux and Collaboration Trois.
The Boisset origins are in Burgundy, but the family has acquired properties around France and across the Atlantic, identifying some of the best vineyard terroirs in the world. This time we explore a new aspect of the Boisset family legacy, with the same bold personality and quest for quality, but blending grapes from California with grapes from Boisset vineyards in France’s Rhone Valley.
Intended as a synergy of terroir, this bottle includes several iconic red varieties, and is composed around Cabernet Sauvignon from California, and the French component is led by Syrah.
Liberté means freedom in French, and the word is combined with the themes of égalité and fraternité to amount to the motto of the nation: liberty, equality, fraternity. We’ve chosen to mirror this theme of freedom, and the privilege we have as winemakers to bring people together in celebration of the best of two wine producing nations. It’s rare that a wine contains the fruit of both France and California, and we’re fueled by the conversations and shared moments that this bottle will inspire.
Liberté offers powerful structure and complexity with dark red fruit aromas and kitchen spice. The palate is all about balance and can be enjoyed now or over the next three years. It’s the perfect match for Cooper’s Hawk Braised Short Rib Risotto, Filet Mignon, or a rich beef dish prepared in your kitchen.
