“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, which 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 selections featured in these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A crisp, juicy wine with a broad spectrum of fresh fruit, forest floor, and spice notes. 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:
Since 1998, Cathy and Daniel Fournié have been running this family-owned estate, joined in 2015 by their daughter Mathilde. With guidance from Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe (Château du Cèdre), they showcase the third terraces of the Lot region. Their approach respects both the soil and the grapes’ ripeness, and each vintage reflects this commitment to quality. The range continues to gain in precision: even the classics offer Malbecs that are supple, elegant, and full of energy.
