"The Château's second wine with an amazing structure!"

"[...] Blackberries, cinnamon-spiced malt bread, anise, and mushrooms. The texture of the fruit and tannins is brighter and more silvery than that of the 2018—overall, the wine is more refined. [...]; a long, fresh backbone of dried thyme and oregano; tannins that resemble the broad mahogany steps of an old staircase in a stately home—soft and silky, with a cool warmth, providing support rather than structure, gently guiding you to the heart of the wine.” (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Rated 3* Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Alain-Dominique Perrin has worked tirelessly to make the magnificent Lagrézette estate one of the beacons of Cahors’s renaissance. The progress is evident following the renovation of the cellar; the wines have gained in elegance, and the fruit is better highlighted by the aging process. We particularly appreciate the Château and Clos-Marguerite vintages, which are remarkable this year.

A flagship estate in the Cadurcian wine region, acquired in 1985 by businessman Alain-Dominique Perrin. It is renowned for the distinctive architecture of its 16th-century manor house, with its pepperpot towers, steep roofs, and dovecote; for its winemaking heritage (82 ha), which dates back to the 16th century; and, above all, for its ambitious wines, which are regularly featured in these pages.

About the wine:

Serving as this estate's second wine, it is well-structured and features pronounced aromas of black fruit. It is spicy and develops nicely. Best enjoyed starting in 2025.

About the wine:

It’s wonderful to see Lagrezette using bottles with such light glass. Hats off to them! Blackberries, cinnamon-spiced malt bread, anise, and mushrooms. The texture of the fruit and tannins is brighter and more silvery than that of the 2018—overall, the wine is more refined.
