2020 'Cèdre Héritage' Malbec

Château du Cèdre is widely regarded as the leading estate in Cahors. Most of Chateau du Cedre’s vineyards are located on the prime “3rd terrasses” which are so highly prized in this appellation. These are regarded as the best sited vineyards in Cahors for high quality wines where the vines can achieve best balance without too much moisture.

The principal grape varieties of Cahors are Malbec (known locally as Cot) and Tannat. These grape varieties produce wonderfully dense and tannic wines that offer great perfume and vivcaity when young displaying distinctive and attractive mulberry aromas and flavours, but when given time to evolve, can develop wonderful complexity. Cahors has a long history for producing wines of great depth and character with superb ageing potential. These are some of the best value wines of France.

90% Malbec and 5% Merlot, 5% Tannat. Aged 1/3 each new, 1y.o. & 2y.o. barrels. This is a big and bold wine, with copious quantities of layered fruit. It is almost black in colour, with chewy, rich black-fruit flavours filling the mouth. Full and firm in structure with substantial fine tannic grip. This is a fabulous wine that always delivers the goods.
