Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

The nose is reminiscent of coffee beans and spicy blueberries, with great volume on the palate, an impression of richness and a licorice finish. A sophisticated, accomplished wine.

About the domain :

Alain-Dominique Perrin has worked hard to make the magnificent Lagrézette estate one of the beacons of the Cahors revival. The progress made since the cellar renovation is clear to see: the wines have gained in elegance, and the fruit is better highlighted by the ageing process. We particularly appreciate the Château and Clos Marguerite cuvees, remarkable this year.

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

About the domain :

A star estate in the Cadurcian vineyards, acquired in 1985 by businessman Alain-Dominique Perrin. It is renowned for the distinctive architecture of its 16th-century manor house, with its pepper-pot towers, sloping roofs and dovecote; for its vineyard heritage (82 ha), cultivated since the 16th century; and, above all, for its ambitious wines, regularly featured in these pages.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Rated (2020 guide) 91/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

While the second and third wines are well-made and delicious to drink, this is where the Lagrezette wines start to get serious. Château Lagrezette 2015 is a full-bodied 100% Malbec aged in 40% new French oak, with a voluminous nose of cedar, black cherry, blueberry and licorice. Full-bodied and complex, it floods the palate with flavor, coating it with soft tannins and a mellow, remarkably elegant finish for a wine that exceeds 15% alcohol.
