Plateau

2011 Cahors Malbec

Causse Du Vidot Plateau is an exquisite expression of Malbec from the renowned Cahors region in France, showcasing the depth and richness the varietal is known for. This red wine presents a captivating deep garnet hue that entices the eye. On the palate, it reveals a luxurious fullness that envelops the senses, balanced by a refreshing acidity that adds vibrancy and liveliness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with bold notes of blackberries and dark cherries leading the charge, while subtle earthy undertones contribute complexity. Tannins are well-integrated, providing a firm structure that enhances the wine's profile without overshadowing its fruit character. With a dry finish, this vintage from 2011 reflects the terroir of Cahors beautifully, making it a delightful choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

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.
