“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 finish, and an excellent aftertaste.” (Jeb Dunnuck)

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

About the wine:
Very smooth aromas and flavors of ripe black plums and chocolate. Generous tannins gently support the rich fruit. Enjoy now or cellar.
