“Made from a vineyard with ideal exposure, this wine takes its name from the rocky soil. It offers a superb balance between dense dark fruit and a taut, mineral texture, expressingthe very essence of Cahors Malbec.” (Wine Enthusiast 2011)

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

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 (2012 guide) 16/20 (Very good)

About the wine:

On the nose, it has a very mineral character, reminiscent of warm stone. On the palate, it reveals an exquisitely silky texture, accompanied by very refined tannins. A concentrated yet refined wine.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Cité

About the wine:

From the Nozières terroir, Les Galets displays rich body and robust tannins.

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.
