The everyday entry into Château du Cèdre's Cahors range, a pure Malbec made from organically farmed vines in the south-west with dark berry fruit and a supple, easy-going character.
Tasting Notes
Dark ruby-red. The nose is very fruity, both powerful and elegant, with blackberry and small red fruits. Round and soft on the palate with great fruit intensity. Short maceration keeps the tannins supple and the finish fresh. A generous, easy-drinking Malbec without the austerity of Cahors' more serious bottles.
