Variety:    100% Malbec
Appellation: Cahors
Region:  South West France

 

 

The Vidal Family manages with great skills and efficiency an emblematic property that characterises the renewal of the Cahors AOC. Johan Vidal knows how to give a modern edge to his wines, by giving them smoother, less rustic tannins, all whilst respecting the value and strength of the superb terroir of the third terrace. Johan is the 5th generation of the Vidal family who started this Château of 30ha in around 1750 – 1800. Back then, the Cahors AOC covered over 40,000 ha, but after the phylloxera in 1870, the AOC covered just 4500ha. It is certainly going through a revival as a town and AOC, and with Johan being part of this revolution since 1997, which marked his first vintage on his own.

Deep ruby colour with a very approachable fruit note, full of notes of blackberries, cassis, raspberries intertwined with sweet spices. The palate is rich, soft and balanced, bursting with aromatic freshness and fruit. Nice length.
