"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
Wine rated 96/ 100
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as 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.
