" Favorite 1jour1vin ! For epicureans who love wines with great aromatic richness".

"In addition to its freshness, it has a deep, sappy texture, punctuated by silky, savory tannins. The bouquet offers a farandole of black fruits, licorice and mint". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Expert opinion

Guide Hachette des vins

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

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

About the wine:

A very ambitious 3 years of barrel ageing for this cuvée, which logically delivers a bouquet dominated by wood at this stage, with good fruit peaking in the background. On the palate, volume, power, concentration, but no hardness, with tannins well embedded in the flesh. Full of character.

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.

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:

In addition to its freshness, it has a deep, sappy texture, punctuated by silky, savory tannins. The bouquet offers a farandole of black fruit, licorice and mint.

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.

About the wine:

Seductive nose of black plum, chocolate, orange, violet and walnut. Full-bodied with a solid tannic structure, yet refined and unctuous. Excellent amplitude. Made from organic grapes. Drinkable from 2024.
