A typical Malbec cuvée, complete and complex, which charms with its balance between power and freshness, brought about by that touch of acidity typical of limestone terroirs.

Eye
Dense, very deep color with purple highlights
Nose
Typical of Malbec with notes of black fruit, flowers, cherry, blackcurrant, violet, licorice, hazelnut, cinnamon, and a hint of menthol; with age, scents of undergrowth and truffle emerge.
Mouth
Velvety with controlled power, very beautiful dense and fleshy texture, the original limestone terroir gives this Malbec that touch of acidity essential for the wine's balance in its youth and during aging, very beautiful, present and fine tannins, long finish with notes of licorice and menthol, concentrated and refined.

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. A superb success this year, everything is good and of unparalleled purity.

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.
