"This cuvée made from Malbec planted on clay-limestone soils has received no less than 6 Favorites in the Guide Hachette over the years. Here's the sixth for a typical, powerful, gourmand 2018. Dark purple, the wine exuberantly delivers aromas of black fruit (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch and morello cherry. On the palate, everything is velvety, with tannins that melt into the dense body. And the long, evocative finish of crushed strawberry adds the ultimate touch of seduction. A Cahors that's certainly ready to serve, but also built for the future". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

About the wine:
This cuvée made from Malbec planted on clay-limestone soils has received no less than 6 Favorites in the Guide Hachette over the years. Here's the sixth for a typical, powerful, gourmand 2018. Dark purple, the wine exuberantly delivers aromas of black fruit (blueberry, blackcurrant), kirsch and morello cherry.

A Cahors that is certainly ready to serve, but also built for the future.
About the domain :
One day... Stéphane Azémar, an architect by training, and Véronique, an archaeologist, left the Paris region to settle in 1999 on a small property in Duravel, a village sheltered from the north wind by an arc of hills, and make wine their profession. Their vineyard (7 ha on the 3eterrasse of the Lot) is certified organic. They also produce saffron.

Black in color, this is definitely a Cahors! Already expressive on the nose and rather open on the palate, it showed itself even more presentable after 24 hours of aeration. Well made and very pure, it's still worth waiting for.

Note and review by Mme RICARDO C. Published on 06/12/2020
A wine out of the ordinary, not to be placed in the hands of just anyone. Complex, with structure, substance and potential for several years without wood aging. Velvety...fat...of course, glycerol is present with 15.5 degrees and a powerful automatic intensity. This wine leaves no one indifferent. Extraordinary with cassoulet .venison dishes in sauce... Powerful dishes with flavor...to give it response. Go for it with your eyes closed.
