"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 leading lights of Cahors’ renaissance. The progress made since the cellar’s renovation is evident: 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.

About the estate:

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 wine-growing heritage (82 hectares), cultivated since the 16th century; and, above all, for its ambitious wines, which are regularly featured in these pages.

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.

Review and comment by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 12/30/2024

Full-bodied and somewhat robust, this second wine already displays a silky texture and lovely density, with acidity balanced by fine, tight tannins and lively red and black fruit aromas, nuanced by hints of licorice and a toasty undertone. A refreshing finish supported by spices. After decanting, this young Malbec pairs well—thanks to its juicy character—with skewers of marinated duck breast from the Southwest, alternated with red bell peppers and onions, cooked over the coals of a barbecue. Or with Quercy lamb chops in garlic sauce and fried sun-ripened vegetables. Rating = 4.2.
