"6-time ' Favorite ' winner in the Guide Hachette"

“This cuvée, made from Malbec grown on clay-limestone soils, has received no fewer than 6 Favorites s in the Guide Hachette over the years. Here is the sixth for a distinctive, powerful, and rich 2018 vintage. Deep purple in color, the wine exuberantly delivers aromas of black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch, and morello cherry. On the palate, it is pure velvety smoothness, as the tannins melt into the dense body. And the long finish, reminiscent of crushed strawberries, adds a final touch of allure. A Cahors that is certainly ready to drink now, but also built to age well.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

This cuvée, made from Malbec grown on clay-limestone soils, has received no fewer than 6 Favorites s in the Guide Hachette over the years. Here is the sixth for a distinctive, powerful, and rich 2018 vintage. Deep purple in color, the wine exuberantly delivers aromas of black fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch, and morello cherry.

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 curve of hills—and make winemaking their livelihood. They manage their vineyard (7 hectares on the third terrace of the Lot) as a certified organic operation. They also grow saffron.

Review by Mr. ALEXANDRE L. Posted on September 23, 2026

Excellent. I really loved it. Deep in color, full-bodied, yet still very fruity on the palate. It has everything going for it. We enjoyed it with a parmentier made with duck confit—it was delicious.
