"Great complexity of aromas perceived on the nose, ripe red and black fruits, truffle, cedar, menthol, voluptuous and refined palate, beautiful structure, freshness and magnificent persistence. A great vintage made from very old Malbec grapes. Great ageing potential. (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 96/100
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Great complexity of aromas perceived on the nose, ripe red and black fruits, truffle, cedar, menthol, voluptuous and refined palate, beautiful structure, freshness and magnificent persistence. A great vintage made from very old Malbec. Great ageing potential.
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.

About the domain :
A star estate in the Cadurci 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.
