This wine is complexity in simplicity. Small red berries bring greedy, charming aromas, followed by spices, violets, very soft tannins... and above all: freshness! A wine to enjoy as an aperitif around a platter of cochonnailles, or with carnivorous cuisine, from summer barbecues to Grandma's roast. There's an old adage: any occasion is a good occasion!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
4-star rated estates (top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaegue lead this estate to the pinnacle of Cahors, thanks to demanding viticulture and precise vinification. The 27 hectares (including 25 hectares of reds) are divided into three islets on two of the appellation's best soil types, notably the famous third terrace. One is clay-limestone, producing wines of great finesse. The other is a soil of pebbles mixed with reddish sand, ideal for more powerful wines.

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
For over fifteen years, the Verhaeghe brothers, Pascal in winemaking and Jean-Marc in the vineyard, and now Pascal's son Jules, have been making Le Cèdre the benchmark of the appellation. It has to be said that they benefit from an exceptional terroir: on the one hand, a cone of particularly stony limestone scree in constant movement, the famous "tran", which produces fine, elegant wines; on the other, a soil of pebbles on ferruginous sands, conferring greater power on the wines. Produced from selected, ideally ripe harvests, the cuvées, always highly colored, achieve a rare level of quality and consistency thanks to their refined tannins and velvety texture. Extra-Libre cuvées feature the entire range of sulfur-free wines.
