"A Malbec with great potential!"

This exceptional wine offers a rich bouquet of red and black fruits, with lovely, subtle woody notes. Peppery and with hints of licorice, the complex and refined palate features noticeable tannins on the finish, which is enchantingly long. This three-time gold medalist will be the perfect accompaniment to a delicious duck breast with orange!

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 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 ha), cultivated since the 16th century; and, above all, for its ambitious wines, which are regularly featured in these pages.
