"Crafted to express the purity of Malbec berries, this wine is elegant and structured, yet ripe and juicy fresh. It is very complete and fragrant, and will be ready to drink from 2025. Organic." (Wine Enthusiast 2022). L'Envie is a bewildering, surprising, and excellent Cahors!

About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, which has been certified organic since 2012. Self-taught, they sought advice from neighboring winegrowers. They learned quickly and well, as evidenced by the regular selections 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 good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
A juicy crunch on a broad palette of fresh fruit, undergrowth, and spices. The racy but light tannins herald the finish, which is coated in a velvety licorice. The harmonious precision of this sulfur-free wine is commendable.
About the estate:
The château has been run by Cathy and Daniel Fournié since 1998, and the vines have been organically farmed since 2009. The reds have the panache of the third terraces of the Lot. Respect for the soil and, above all, for the ripeness of the fruit, is evident in each of the labels. The range is gaining in precision, and even the classic vintages offer a smooth Malbec full of panache.
