"Grown on a plot with ideal exposure, this wine takes its name from the rocky soil. It offers a superb balance between dense black fruit and taut mineral texture, expressingthe very essence of Cahors Malbec." (Wine Enthusiast 2011)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
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.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good)
About wine:
The nose has a very mineral dimension, reminiscent of warm stone. The palate reveals an exquisitely silky texture, accompanied by very refined tannins. A concentrated yet refined wine.

Wine rated (2011 guide) 15,5/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Cité
About wine:
On the Nozières terroir, Les Galets displays depth of flesh and robust tannins.
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.
