"A medium-bodied red with notes of cherries, blackcurrants, plums and sweet spices on the nose. On the mid-palate, fine tannins and a hint of spice bring energy, followed by a deliciously fruity finish with fresh acidity. Enjoy now. (James Suckling 2024)

Château Lamartine
Cahors
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
A classic estate in the appellation, producing solid, tannic Cahors at the price of a certain austerity in the basic wines. The cuvée Expression, made from good vines on the third terrace, is exemplary in its consistency.

Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Legend has it that the boughs of a hundred-year-old oak tree once sheltered the gallant rendezvous of a beautiful Martine. Since 2016, Alain Gayraud has handed over the reins to his children Lise and Benjamin, who have a wealth of experience abroad, to manage this estate with its ancient origins (1883), located on the edge of the Lot-et-Garonne region. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares, facing due south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.

Wine rated (guide 2024) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Everything suggests that Tandem 2022 is the prototype of contemporary Cahors: made in ovoid cement vats, it offers ripe, complex fruit, delicate mint and tannins that dispense a dynamic sparkle.
About the domain :
The destiny of the Gayraud family estate is now in the hands of Benjamin and Lise, Alain's children. This classic estate delivers wines that are fair, balanced and true to the image of Cahors. The new generation has brought more energy and modernity to the cuvées, which focus on fruit.

Note and review by M. REMI L. Published on 26/10/2024
A little ungrateful today, with slightly green tannins. Could improve after 5-10 years (?) of cellaring.
