Vinification

Grapes from 50-year old vines undergo "Integral Vinification" - the entire process of maceration, fermentation, and maturation take place in the same 100% new 500L oak barrels - the maturation piece taking 28 months

Notes from critics

A spectacular 100% Malbec from 50-year-old vines in Cahors. The Verhaeghe family uses "Integral Vinification," fermenting and aging the wine entirely in 500-liter oak barrels for 28 months. It boasts complex aromas of violet, dark cherry, and menthol with seamless power and custom oak integration. Truly a benchmark for French Malbec.

96

This Cahors is a cut above the rest. Complex aromas (violet, incense, menthol, cherry), an elegant and pure style, this wine glides smoothly with amplitude, concealing its power within custom aging. It’s beautiful and, of course, very good! A great wine.

95

Lots of sweet blue plums, blueberries, wet stones, stemmy herbs and mild spices on the nose. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Ample, expansive but focused at the end. Smartly structured with a good amount of fresh, chalky tannins, showing balance, brightness and energy. Flavorful and lingering finish, but nothing heavy here. From organically grown grapes.
