Clos Triguedina - Chenin 2012 (moelleux)
15/20
RVF
“The 2012 Moelleux offers surprising notes of chocolate and wheat. It is full-bodied yet retains an easy-to-drink sweetness.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF) Harvested late, the Chenin Blanc here expresses aromas of fruit paste accompanied by a mineral note. A lovely balance without any heaviness.

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.

About the wine:
The 2012 Moelleux isn't very complex, but it offers surprising notes of chocolate and wheat. It's full-bodied but retains a pleasant sweetness.
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.
