In a blind tasting, you’d never guess this Malbec is a Cahors. And yet! Finally, a superb Cahors that’s fruit-forward, light, and easy to drink. The selection of terroirs here highlights the potential of this “new generation” Cahors cuvée. A juicy, enjoyable wine that also retains the lovely skin tannins typical of Malbec. A real treat!

About the estate:
The appellation has seen a new generation passionate about the Malbec grape take the region by storm. Without turning their backs on the great Cahors wines of yesteryear—which age with unflinching character—Cahors’ new winemakers craft the grapes to bring out an intensely floral character. Germain Croisille, who has transformed the estate founded by his parents, has mastered the technique to the point of producing wines of rare subtlety, while remaining true to the traditional style of Malbec from the Causse. Subtle extraction and deep ripeness characterize wines that are ready to drink now yet capable of aging.

Review by Mr. LAURENT K. Published on July 21, 2019
A very aromatic wine. It’s clearly a new-generation Cahors, with a focus on fruit. A real pleasure to drink right now. It’s easy-drinking, juicy, and aromatic. In short, perfect for summer!
