“Crafted to showcase the purity of Malbec berries, this wine is elegant and well-structured, yet ripe and bursting with juicy freshness. It is a well-rounded, aromatic wine that will be ready to drink starting in 2025. Organic.” (Wine Enthusiast 2022). L'Envie is a captivating, surprising, and excellent Cahors!

About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, and it has been certified organic since 2012. As self-taught winemakers, they sought advice from neighboring vintners. They learned quickly and effectively, as evidenced by the regular features of their wines in these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A crisp, juicy wine with a broad spectrum of fresh fruit, forest floor, and spice. The refined yet light tannins lead into a finish enveloped in a velvety licorice note. The harmonious precision of this sulfur-free wine is commendable.
About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié have been running the estate since 1998, and the vineyards have been farmed organically since 2009. The reds possess the flair characteristic of the third terraces of the Lot. A deep respect for the soil—and above all for the fruit’s ripeness—shines through in every bottle. The range is becoming increasingly refined, and even the classic vintages offer a Malbec that is supple and full of character.
