Description

Cahors Extra Libre, Château du Cèdre

Cahors Extra Libre, Château du Cèdre has an intense bouquet. The juicy and almost crunchy texture in the mouth wine expresses all the exuberance of this great vintage in Cahors. Displaying aromas of fresh red fruits, blackcurrant, a zest of lemon and hints of peppercorns. On the palate, spiced characters and dried fruits round off this expressive, characterful wine.

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.

No added sulphites.
