“A lovely vintage resulting from 18 months of aging in large oak casks, opening with sumptuous aromas of stewed red fruits, raisins, and kirsch, complemented by balsamic notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and robust, with firm tannins and aging potential. A bottle with character that would pair beautifully with spicy cuisine. ” (Le Guide Hachette 2024). An exceptional Cahors!

A great wine, intense, full of character, with powerful tannins, a robust body, and rich aromas; dense, with Cadurc’s signature elegance, finesse, and texture. Great potential.
About the estate:
Surrounded by a talented team, Germain Croisille embodies Cahors’s renaissance with a modern approach that has moved away from the use of new oak. The wines, which are certified organic, have gained in finesse, approachability, depth, and expression of terroir. Today, they have reached a remarkable level of quality, with a fresh and distinctive style. A superb vintage this year—every wine is excellent and of unparalleled purity.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Cité
About the estate:
The appellation has seen a new generation of winemakers, 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—the new Cahors winemakers craft the grapes in such a way that they offer 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 but also have the potential to age.
