"Le Croizillon opens the tasting of reds with its dapper, floral Malbec". (Le Guide RVF 2024). Blind tasting, it's impossible to tell that this Malbec is a Cahors. And yet it is! At last, a superb, fruity Cahors, light and easy to digest. The choice of terroirs here highlights the potential for this new-generation Cahors.

About the domain :
Well surrounded, Germain Croisille expresses the revival of Cahors, with a modern approach in which the use of new wood has been abandoned. The wines, certified organic, have progressed in finesse, accessibility, depth and terroir expression. Today, the level reached is remarkable, in a fresh, salient style. Superb success this year, everything is good and of unrivalled purity.

About the wine:
Le Croizillon opens the tasting of reds with its dapper, floral Malbec.
About the domain :
The appellation has witnessed the arrival of a new generation of Malbec enthusiasts. Without denying the great Cahors wines of yesteryear, which age unashamedly, the new winegrowers of Cadurci handle the grape in such a way that it offers a sensation of exacerbated florality. Germain Croisille, who converted the estate created by his parents, has mastered the technique to the point of producing cuvées of rare subtlety, while remaining true to the canons of causse malbec. The subtle extraction and depth of maturity are the hallmarks of wines that can be drunk now and aged well into the future.

Note and review by M. PHILIPPE S. Published on 01/05/2025
The wine was pearly on opening, and decanting with a few vigorous shakes unfortunately didn't improve the situation. I didn't notice any red fruit on the nose, it smelled more like a stable. Passable on the palate. A disappointment for the only bottle purchased. Back to Combel la Serre
