"One of the world's greatest Malbecs!"

“The 2015 Cahors Paragon is an incredible Cahors, and certainly one of the best wines I’ve tasted from this appellation. It offers a deep, concentrated, and refined style, along with superb notes of black and blue fruits, burnt earth, and spring flowers, with pronounced tannins, a lingering impression, and an excellent finish.” (Jeb Dunnuck)

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.

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.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

This wine comes from a gravelly plot in Alain Dominique Perrin’s Clos Marguerite vineyard. It boasts an excellent location, power, a dense texture, robust tannins, and hints of jammy black fruit. Rich and ripe, it will age for many years. Best enjoyed starting in 2023.

About the wine:

Very smooth aromas and flavors of ripe black plums and chocolate. The generous tannins gently support the full-bodied fruit. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.
