A classic Malbec, full-bodied and complex, that charms with its balance of power and freshness, thanks to the touch of acidity characteristic of the limestone terroir.

Eye
A dense, deep color with purple highlights
Nose
Typical of Malbec, with notes of dark fruit, flowers, cherry, blackcurrant, violet, licorice, hazelnut, cinnamon, and a hint of mint; with age, aromas of forest floor and truffle emerge
Mouth
Smooth yet powerfully controlled, with a beautifully dense and full-bodied texture; the unique limestone terroir lends this Malbec that essential touch of acidity needed for the wine’s balance both in its youth and during aging; very fine, present, and refined tannins; a 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.
