ready to drink

"An intense wine that accompanies everyday dishes and pleasures."

A fresh and expressive Cahors, with aromas of black fruits, raspberry, and fresh herbs, enhanced by a hint of pepper. On the palate, its fluid texture and crisp tannins offer beautiful roundness and a subtle aromatic finish, marked by black olive. A cuvée full of charm and balance.

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.

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 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.
