The wine recreates the medieval technique used to heat fermenting must in order to make it more stable. In this case, it also produces a wine that is almost black in color, dark in appearance and aroma. There is elegance here, with fine tannins that are well integrated with the juicy black fruit and ripe style. This is a wine made for aging, even though it is juicy enough to drink now." (Wine Enthusiast 2015) A real treat!

Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated 16.5/20 (Reference wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About wine:
Truly successful in 2012 with a magnificent smooth texture and savory tannins.
About the estate:
Jean-Luc Baldès continues the family saga of this historic Cahors estate. A large part of the 65 hectares is located on the third terraces of Vire, on the banks of the Lot River. The rest is located on the Causse plateau and its whiter soils. While the intelligent parcel selection reflects the estate's heritage, the Prince-Probus blend gives a true impression of modern Cahors wine: colorful and juicy. An essential address.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Cité
About wine:
On the new black wine 2012, the fine aging brings out a dense wine with overflowing fruit flavors.
About the estate:
Jean-Luc Baldès was a standard-bearer for Cahors Malbec, striving to express the potential of his vineyard located on the second, third, and fourth terraces of the Lot. Guardians of the vineyard's history, the "black wine" and the Probus cuvée made Cahors famous for a time. Today, the estate is focusing on wine tourism and attempting to produce more modern cuvées, without really succeeding. We are therefore removing the star this year.
