L'incontournable

New label for the cuvée prestige

A prestigious Cahors AOC that brings you real pleasure at the table! Depending on the vintage, the wine is aged between 14 and 18 months in 225-liter oak barrels of French origin.The "Prestige" cuvée has an intense black color as tradition requires for AOC Cahors. On the palate you will find a round attack and a medium that presents a lot of fat, roundness and a very nice balance supported also by a nice sweetness of the wood witnessing a fine and precise aging.

Belle couleur pourpre soutenue. Quel nez ! Amateurs de sensation, à vos marques ! Prêts ? Notes fumées, boisées, pruneaux, confiture de cerise noires, cuir… Quelle complexité ! La bouche, ouah ! La puissance dans l’élégance, des notes de sous-bois, de champignons, de réglisse, avec des jolis tanins qui fixent le palais. Il y a du jus. Superbe. A servir sur un grand dîner avec un canard simplement rôti et poêlée de girolles.
