Description
Cahors, Chateau du Cedre
Cahors Chateau du Cedre is a fresh and enlivening organic Cahors showing flavours of plums, cherries and blackberries and spices, with a long finish.
The Verhaeghe family have been making wine in the Lot since the 1950s. Today it is Pascal and Jean-Marc in charge of this certified organic domaine. They own three parcels of vineyards, the largest of which is 12.5 acres with stony calcareous clay called Tran, which plays an important role retaining heat and moisture. Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe produce excellent Malbec from these established vineyards. Drawing on his winemaking experience from California to Burgundy, Pascal delicately chisels wines of great elegance, rounding them off with judicious aging in new oak barriques. The wine has generous flavours and made from a blend of 95% Malbec and 5% Merlot grapes.
