Château du Cèdre L'Improbable from Cahors, aromatic and fresh with notes of blackberries, plums, and violets complemented by hints of liquorice and earthy spice on the nose, medium-bodied with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and dark fruits on a long, clean, and slightly mineral finish, a wine that challenges expectations with minimal intervention and organic farming.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic and fresh nose of blackberries, plums, and violets, complemented by hints of liquorice and earthy spice. Medium-bodied on the palate with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavours of dark fruits, wild herbs, and a touch of cocoa. The finish is long, clean, and slightly mineral. L'Improbable, "the improbable", is Château du Cèdre's more accessible, natural-leaning Malbec, made with minimal intervention from organically farmed biodynamic vineyards.
