Cuvee Majeste

2010 Cahors 100% Malbec

Chateau De Cayx Cuvee Majeste is a stunning expression of Malbec hailing from the historic Cahors region. This full-bodied red wine showcases deep, rich hues that capture the eye. On the palate, it reveals high acidity, which beautifully balances its luscious fruit intensity, offering vibrant notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of spice. The tannins are remarkably firm, adding structure and depth to the wine, leading to a mouthwatering finish that lingers with complexity. This vintage is dry but offers a delightful richness, making it an excellent choice to complement hearty dishes or to be enjoyed on its own. With its elegant profile and robust character, next to the iconic Malbecs of Cahors, it stands out as a true marvel of the varietal.

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.
