"Attractive nose of tea leaves, plums, mocha, and violets. It is juicy and deliciously fruity, with medium to full body, moderately firm tannins, and a creamy finish. Made from organic grapes. Drink now or hold." (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, which has been certified organic since 2012. Self-taught, they sought advice from neighboring winegrowers. They learned quickly and well, as evidenced by the regular selections in these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
The château has been run by Cathy and Daniel Fournié since 1998, and the vines have been organically farmed since 2009. The reds have the panache of the third terraces of the Lot. Respect for the soil and, above all, for the ripeness of the fruit, is evident in each of the labels. The range is gaining in precision and even the classic vintages offer a smooth Malbec full of panache.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About wine:
A vineyard located on the third highest terrace above the Lot River produces a 100% Malbec wine with powerful tannins and dense black plum flavors. Aging in oak adds polish to this wine while preserving its tannic structure. Drink from 2026 onwards. Organic.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 04/12/2025
Very well made and meticulously aged, this Gem immediately Gem with its breathtaking value for money and enjoyment. In addition to its strong character and young but already rounded tannic structure, this cuvée seduces with its beautiful volume and depth, as well as its superb juicy texture with a mellow touch, punctuated by intense black fruit flavors, a perfectly integrated toasted note, and a floral nuance, with just the right amount of acidity to complement it. It blossoms through to the finish, which is full-bodied and refined, with notes of zan and cocoa. Perfect harmony with duck à l'orange, in the absence of fresh candied black figs. Rating = 4.3.
