"This cuvée is the fruit of long ageing in wood. Empyreumatic aromas are logically present in a complex palette of stewed black fruits. The palate is full and fat, with a fresh, minty finish. Solid tannins invite patience". (Le Guide Hachette 2022)

Expert opinion

Guide Hachette des vins

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

This cuvée is the fruit of long ageing in wood. Empyreumatic aromas are logically present in a complex palette of stewed black fruits. The palate is full and fat, with a fresh, minty finish. Solid tannins invite patience.

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.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

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.
