Clos Triguedina - Chenin 2012 (moelleux)
15/20
RVF
"The 2012 Moelleux releases surprising notes of chocolate and wheat. It is dense but retains a digestible sweetness." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF) Harvested late, the Chenin Blanc expresses aromas of fruit paste accompanied by a mineral note. Nice balance without heaviness.

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.

About wine:
The 2012 Moelleux is not very complex but has surprising notes of chocolate and wheat. It is dense but retains a digestible sweetness.
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.
