L'Envie is a puzzling, surprising and excellent Cahors! We find the generous fruit, the seductive touch and the tannic structure of a fine Cahors. We find all the typicality of Malbec on Cahors terroirs with, in addition, that rare freshness and digestibility!

About the domain :

Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, and have been certified organic since 2012. Self-taught, they sought advice from neighboring winemakers. They learned quickly and well, as witness the regular selections on these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

Rated (guide 2021) 92/100 Coup de Coeur (Vintage 2018)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

The château has been run by Cathy and Daniel Fournié since 1998, and the vines have been grown organically since 2009. The reds have the panache of the Lot's third terraces. Respect for the soil, and above all for the ripeness of the fruit, is evident in every label. The range is more precise than ever, and even the classic cuvées offer a taste of Malbec that's loose and full of panache.

Note and review by M. SEBASTIEN B. Published on 01/04/2021

Uncomplicated, this wine combines the exuberance of red fruits with the structure of Cahors, quite powerful and animal by definition. A simple, pleasant pleasure, for a digestible wine that goes well with traditional dishes in sauce.
