"A Malbec with great potential!

This grand cuvée offers a blossoming nose of red and black fruits, with lovely, discreet woody notes. Peppery and licorice-like, the mouth is complex and refined, with noticeable tannins and an enchantingly long finish. This triple gold medal winner is the ideal companion for a delicious duck breast with orange sauce!

3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Alain-Dominique Perrin has worked hard to make the magnificent Lagrézette estate one of the beacons of the Cahors revival. The progress made since the cellar renovation is clear to see: the wines have gained in elegance, and the fruit is better highlighted by the ageing process. We particularly appreciate the Château and Clos Marguerite cuvees, remarkable this year.
