"Le Cedre" is considered to be the finest Malbec produced in France, With its deep dark color combined with soft and seductive tannins it is always a treat to drink this young but it will keep for at least 12 years and will develop even more attractive vanilla/licorice aromas.

• Appellation: AOC Cahors
• Cepage: 100% Malbec
• Terroir: Cones of limestone scree and Mindel high terraces with very old alluvial deposits from the Lot river (-500,000 years)
• Age of vines: 40 years
• Vinification: Indigenous yeasts - Long vatting period of about 30 days - Gentle extraction; No winemaking additives are used except for low levels of sulphites before bottling
• Maturation: 24 months in big oak casks (57 hl) and barrels (500 liters)

Lovely nose with dark cherries, boysenberries and stemmy herbs with a hint of dark earth and white pepper. Quite a delivery with medium to full body and fine tannins. Lively and tense on the mid-palate, showing crunchy blueberries and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Already approachable now, but can hold.

The wine's welcome low alcohol belies its intensity and weight. It is a bold and fruity wine, sustained by dark tannins and rich black fruits. It has a long development and great future ahead of it. Drink from 2026; Organic.
