The original Malbec! The popularity of Argentinian Malbec owes much to its French relatives.
Intense cherry fruit, blackcurrant and lots of spicy oak. Characterful and complex with a moreish balance of attractive chalky tannins and acidity.This has been made from a blend of 85% Malbec and 15% Merlot.
Cahors has been an established winemaking area for centuries and a Latin manuscript from 1456 shows that the Burc family were already land owners around Cahors at that time.
5th generation vigneron Jean-Luc Burc now shares the running of this 50 hectare estate near Puy-L'Évèque with his daughters, Anne and Emmanuelle. They produce individual and characterful wines from their various vineyard parcels which encompass all of the classic terroirs of the region, both on the renowned terraces of the Lot and upon the limestone plateau above.
The estate's old vines are carefully managed according to the principles of lutte raisonneé.
A very good wine. Very drinkable. I will certainly be re-ordering.
Wow! What a great smooth wine. Great value for money.
Can't rate it because it was a gift and I never got to drink it because I live 3000 miles away.
