"The château's second wine with an impressive structure!"

"[...] Blackberries, cinnamon malt bread, anise, and mushrooms. The texture of the fruit and tannins is brighter and more silvery than in the 2018—overall, the wine is more refined. [...]; a long, fresh backbone of dried thyme and oregano; tannins that resemble the wide mahogany branches of an old staircase in a stately home—soft and silky, a cool warmth, support rather than structure, gently carrying you to the heart of the wine." (Jancis Robinson 2023)

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

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.

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.

About wine:

Acting as a second wine for this estate, it is structured, with pronounced aromas of black fruit. It is spicy and develops well. Drink from 2025.

About wine:

It's wonderful to see Lagrezette using bottles with such low glass weight. Hats off to them! Blackberries, cinnamon malt bread, anise, and mushrooms. The texture of the fruit and tannins is brighter and more silvery than in the 2018—overall, the wine is more refined. [...]; a long, fresh backbone of dried thyme and oregano; tannins that resemble the wide mahogany branches of an old staircase in a stately home—soft and silky, a cool warmth, support rather than structure, gently carrying you to the heart of the wine.
