"The 2012 moelleux diffuses astonishing notes of chocolate and wheat. It is dense but retains an easily digestible sugar content." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - RVF) Harvested late, the Chenin blanc here expresses aromas of fruit paste accompanied by a mineral note. Nicely balanced without heaviness.

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.

About the wine:
The 2012 moelleux isn't very complex, but releases surprising notes of chocolate and wheat. It is dense but retains an easily digestible sugar content.
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.
