WINE | RED WINE | SUD-OUEST | CAHORS ROUGEBottle of : 0.75L
100% MALBEC -
Certified organic since 2012
- Malbec, the distinctive grape of Cahors, expresses itself with character here. The terroir of the Lot valley imparts structure and depth to this wine, which rewards those who approach it with patience and respect for its constitution.
- Decant this wine an hour or two before service to allow its aromatic profile to unfold fully. The initial austerity will soften, revealing the wine's inherent charm and complexity. Early opening permits proper appreciation of its character.
- This vintage possesses considerable ageing potential. The balanced tannin structure and natural acidity suggest a wine that will develop gracefully over the next decade or more, gaining nuance and tertiary complexity with time in bottle.

In the mouth
Well-structured tannins provide backbone without harshness. The palate is balanced, with good length and a dry finish. The wine shows discipline and restraint rather than overt power.
On the nose
Blackcurrant and morello cherry dominate, with secondary notes of cocoa and violet. The bouquet is layered and evolving, suggesting good complexity beneath the surface.
On the eye
Deep purple, with youthful intensity
Breeding
24 months
This wine pairs particularly well with spiced meat dishes—consider couscous, tagines, or Indian preparations with warm spicing. The wine's natural acidity and tannin structure cut through richness elegantly. Also excellent with roasted game and mature cheeses.
