About wine:

A slight evolution in the color and aromas of this Merlot-dominated blend. The nose reveals a lovely complexity, with notes of cooked fruit, sweet spices, and undergrowth. Soft tannins, pleasant roundness, and a very spicy finish add to the charm of this wine, which is best enjoyed while still young.

About the estate:

Located 5 km from Carcassonne on the banks of the Canal du Midi, this is one of the oldest wine-growing estates in Malepère, dating back to the 13th century and the Roger Cahuzac de Caux family, with the vineyard dating back to the 16th century. Acquired in 1871 by the ancestors of the current owners, an old local family, it first flourished around 1900. Its recent revival is linked to the renovation of the cellar in 2015 by the Boyers, who took over the estate (70 hectares, including 55 hectares of vineyards).
