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

Wine rated 16.5/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

A truly outstanding wine from 2012, with a beautifully smooth texture and flavorful tannins.

About the estate:

Jean-Luc Baldès carries on the family legacy of this historic estate in Cahors. A large portion of the 65 hectares is located on the third terraces of Vire, along the banks of the Lot River. The remainder lies on the Causse plateau, with its whiter soils. While the thoughtful plot-by-plot selection reflects the estate’s heritage, the “Prince-Probus” blend offers an accurate glimpse of modern Cahors—vibrant and juicy. A must-visit destination.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Cité

About the wine:

In the 2012 New Black Wine, the careful aging process brings out a dense wine bursting with fruit flavors.

About the estate:

Jean-Luc Baldès was a champion of Cahors Malbec, striving to bring out the full potential of his vineyard, located on the second, third, and fourth terraces of the Lot River. As the guardian of the vineyard’s history, the “black wine” and the Probus cuvée once brought fame to Cahors. Today, the estate is focusing on wine tourism and attempting to produce more modern wines, without really succeeding. We are therefore removing the star this year.
