Compact and concentrated, with delicious notes of wild black fruits and spices. Excellent length. Ready to drink or worth cellaring. ” (James Suckling 2022). THE top-of-the-line cuvée in the Cahors appellation.

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 beautiful, powerful nose with ripe fruit and cherry notes, displaying remarkable depth. The wine has a lovely body, with hints of geranium, spices, and cinnamon. The finish is crisp and refreshing.
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.
