Ambroise De L'her

Cahors Malbec

Chateau Nozieres Ambroise De L'her, a distinguished Malbec from the Cahors region, is a testament to the depth and complexity this varietal can offer. This full-bodied red wine captivates the senses with its deep, inky hue and opulent aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plum, and a hint of violet. On the palate, it delivers a rich tapestry of dark fruits, accented by subtle notes of tobacco, spice, and vanilla. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the robust tannins that lend structure and longevity to the wine. Notably, Cahors is renowned for producing powerful, expressive Malbecs, and this bottle is no exception—crafted with care, it stands as a true representation of the region’s winemaking prowess.

Cahors

Southwestern France's Cahors region is known for its deep, dark red wines of the same name. This small town on the Lot River is the original home of the Malbec grape, which tastes very different from its modern Argentinean cousins. In Cahors, this juicy grape is known as Côt, and makes leaner and drier wines than New World examples. Expect earthy flavors of dried leaves and cocoa, firm tannins and such a concentration of color (and polyphenols) that Cahors is sometimes known as "black wine." While the majority of Cahors is single-varietal, sometimes Merlot and/or Tannat are blended in. Aged in oak, these wines exhibit intense flavors of dark berry and spice.
