"Le Croizillon opens the tasting with its floral and lively Malbec reds." (Le Guide RVF 2024). In a blind tasting, it would be impossible to tell that this Malbec is a Cahors. And yet! Finally, a superb Cahors with fruit, light and easy to drink. The choice of terroirs here highlights the potential for this new generation of Cahors wines.

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.
