"A lovely basket of red and black fruits with a hint of flowers is the aromatic gift of this expressive, gourmet wine. The structure still appears firm, but it is a guarantee of longevity, as the material is sufficiently dense to integrate it". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022). A rich, powerful Cahors, it can be drunk now, but will undoubtedly age elegantly for many years to come.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A pretty basket of red and black fruits with a hint of flowers is the aromatic gift of this expressive, gourmet wine. The structure still appears firm, but it's a guarantee of longevity, as the material is sufficiently dense to integrate it.
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.
