“Intense dark purple color. The nose is pure and youthful, with aromas of violet, blackberry, blackcurrant, and licorice, all underpinned by a hint of oak. The palate is dense and concentrated, still young but with well-polished tannins, subtle oak integration, and a lively freshness that balances the density; flavors of black berries with sweet spices and licorice lead to a long and powerful finish.” (Andreas Larsson). Impressive!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Jean-Luc Baldès continues 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 portrayal of modern Cahors—vibrant and juicy. A must-visit destination.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Cité
About the wine:
A fine, concentrated Malbec—classic in style, with a delicate, powdery structure, racy contours, and tannins softened by the vintage.
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 were once the hallmarks of Cahors’ reputation. 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.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This estate wine displays a structure and richness that come from the Triguedina vineyard. The tannins are beautifully balanced by dark fruit, while licorice adds a hint of bitterness that will mellow over time. Best enjoyed starting in 2022.
