Wine rated (2021 guide) 96/100

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About wine:

A magnificent, pure, fruity nose with truffle nuances, well-structured on the palate, with tight, elegant tannins, length, and intense freshness. It has it all. Superb!

About the estate:

Alain-Dominique Perrin has worked hard to make the magnificent Lagrézette estate one of the flagships of Cahors' revival. The progress made since the renovation of the cellar is clear to see: the wines have gained in elegance and the fruit is better highlighted by the aging process. We particularly appreciate the château and clos-marguerite vintages, which are remarkable this year.

Guide Hachette des vins

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

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)

About wine:

Blackcurrant and toasted... Lovely aromatic profile. Full-bodied with mellow tannins... That's all it takes to decide to enjoy this Cahors right now.

About the estate:

A flagship 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 pepperpot towers, sloping roofs, and dovecote; for its wine-growing heritage (82 hectares), dating back to the 16th century; and above all for its ambitious wines, which are regularly featured in these pages.

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About wine:

This is the estate's wine, produced from the vineyards surrounding the 15th-century château near the Lot River. Black fruits dominate and the tannins are very present. It is a dark-colored, full-bodied, and concentrated wine. The wine needs to age and will be ready to drink from 2024 onwards.

About wine:

Although the oak (obvious) and fruit are angular and rigid, this wine is still very young and will stabilize in the coming years. The fruit, purple, red, and blue, is very pure, beautifully sculpted by acidity and long, refined tannins. Beneath the most pronounced oak spices lies a hint of grape spices. Cumin and the bark of old trees drenched by rain, as well as a slight hint of camphor. Mentholated freshness. Great length, flavor, and restraint. One of the most elegant vintages of this wine I have ever tasted. Bravo!
