"Crafted to express the purity of Malbec berries, the wine is elegant, structured yet ripe with juicy freshness. The wine is very complete, fragrant and will be ready to drink from 2025. Organic". (Wine Enthusiast 2022). L'Envie is a puzzling, surprising and excellent Cahors!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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 wine (guide 2023) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A juicy crunch on a broad palette of fresh fruit, undergrowth and spices. Racy but light tannins herald the finish, which wraps itself in licorice velvet. The harmonious precision of this sulfur-free wine is commendable.
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.
