Du Clos

2012 Cahors Malbec

Triguedina Du Clos, a captivating expression of Malbec from the esteemed Cahors region, showcases a deep crimson hue that entices the eye. This vintage reveals a medium-bodied profile, offering a delightful balance of lush fruitiness and structured tannins, which contribute to a well-rounded mouthfeel. The acidity presents itself as vibrant yet harmonious, lending the wine a refreshing lift and making it immensely food-friendly. Pronounced fruit intensity shines through with notes of ripe blackcurrants and dark plums, beautifully complemented by subtle hints of spice and leather. This 2012 vintage is irresistibly dry, making it a superb choice for those who appreciate depth and complexity in their red wines. As you savor it, the elegance and character of Cahors shine through, evoking a true sense of place.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
