What to Expect

Malbec's origins as a blending grape and the core of the sometimes rustic wines of Cahors are quickly becoming forgotten as the grape becomes solidly associated with Argentina. A heat-loving variety of grape, it has always struggled to ripen in France. While still capable of producing a full-bodied rich wine, the tannins in these were formidable. In warmer climates the tannins are able to ripen fully, yielding rich, velvety wines packed with black spice notes and dark berry fruit.

Falerne is both the most expensive and by far the best Cahors available, the Haut Brion of this once-famous region, where the Malbec is king. Bouquet of blueberry, plum, licorice and spice box. Powerful and dense with a very long finish. Potent wine!
