Le Petit Clos is a fine Cahors with a very expressive nose, gradually evolving towards notes of red fruit with a hint of liquorice. Round and well-balanced on the palate. A harmonious wine that provides real pleasure.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Jean-Luc Baldès continues the family saga of this historic Cahors estate. Most of the 65 hectares are located on the third terraces of Vire, on the banks of the Lot. The rest is on the causse and its whiter soils. While the intelligent selection of plots reflects the estate's heritage, the prince-probus blend gives an accurate idea of the modern, colorful and juicy Cahors. An essential address.

Rated domain (2022 guide) City
About the domain :
Jean-Luc Baldès was a standard-bearer for Cahors Malbec, striving to express the full potential of his vineyards on the second, third and fourth terraces of the Lot. A guardian of the vineyard's history, the "black wine" and cuvée Probus were for a time Cahors' best-known wines. Today, the estate is focusing on wine tourism and trying to produce more modern cuvées, without really succeeding. We are therefore removing the star this year.

Note and review by M. PIERRE B. Published on 18/06/2018
Thick, full-bodied wine with a long, well-balanced finish. Rich in alcohol, but retains a certain freshness (note 14º on the label and 12.5º on the technical data sheet).

small disappointment for this correct but too classic Cahors. An old-fashioned wine.
