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

A wine of great character, intense and full-bodied, with powerful tannins, a robust structure, and rich aromas; dense, yet bearing the Cadurcian hallmark of elegance, finesse, and texture. Great potential.
About the estate:
Well supported, Germain Croisille embodies the revival of Cahors, with a modern approach that has abandoned the use of new wood. The wines, certified organic, have gained in finesse, accessibility, depth, and expression of terroir. Today, they have reached a remarkable level, with a fresh and distinctive style.

About the estate:
The appellation has seen a new generation passionate about Malbec arrive on the scene. Without denying the great Cahors wines of yesteryear, which age without compromise, the new Cahors winemakers handle the grapes in such a way that they offer an intense floral sensation. Germain Croisille, who converted the estate created by his parents, has mastered the technique to such an extent that he produces wines of rare subtlety, while remaining true to the traditions of Causse Malbec. The subtle extraction and depth of maturity result in wines that can be enjoyed now but are also capable of aging.
