This vintage, made from Malbec grapes grown on clay-limestone soils, has received no fewer than six Favorites the Guide Hachette over the years. Here is the sixth for a distinctive, powerful, and delicious 2018. Dark purple in color, the wine exudes exuberant aromas of black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch, and morello cherry. On the palate, it is velvety smooth, with the tannins melting into the dense texture. The long finish, reminiscent of crushed strawberries, adds a final touch of seduction. A Cahors that is certainly ready to drink now, but also built for the future." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

About wine:
This cuvée, made from Malbec grapes grown on clay-limestone soils, has received no fewer than six Favorites the Guide Hachette over the years. Here is the sixth for a distinctive, powerful, and delicious 2018 vintage. Dark purple in color, the wine exudes exuberant aromas of black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch, and morello cherry. On the palate, it is velvety smooth, with the tannins melting into the dense texture. And the long finish, reminiscent of crushed strawberries, adds a final touch of seduction. A Cahors that is certainly ready to be served now, but also built for the future.
About the estate:
One day... Stéphane Azémar, an architect by training, and Véronique, an archaeologist, left the Paris region in 1999 to settle on a small property in Duravel, a village sheltered from the north wind by a range of hills, and make winegrowing their profession. They run their vineyard (7 hectares on the third terrace of the Lot) as a certified organic operation. They also produce saffron.

Note and opinion by Mr. ENOAL D. Published on 12/07/2020
Black robe, this is definitely a Cahors! Already expressive on the nose and quite open on the palate, it became even more presentable after 24 hours of aeration. Well-made and very pure, it deserves to be left to age a little longer.

Review and opinion by Ms. RICARDO C. Published on 12/06/2020
Warning: this is a wine in a class of its own, not to be put in just anyone's hands. Complex with structure, substance, and the potential to age for several years... without oak aging. Velvety... rich... inevitably, glycerol is present with 15.5% alcohol and a naturally powerful intensity. This wine leaves no one indifferent. Extraordinary with cassoulet, venison dishes in sauce... Powerful dishes with flavor... to match it. Go for it with your eyes closed.
