Its nose of red and black fruits, sweet spices, and menthol is pure pleasure. The palate is well-balanced with fine, elegant tannins. A great success for this Malbec at its peak!

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.

About wine:
A pleasant Cahors wine.
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.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About wine:
This is one of the single-vineyard wines in the Baldès Trilogy, highlighting the different terroirs on each terrace. The wine showcases the rich side of Malbec on a sunny red clay-limestone plot on the second terrace. It is a powerful evocation of ripe black fruits, juicy acidity, and dense, concentrated tannins, all contained within an elegant framework. Drink from 2022 onwards.
