Prestige

2011 Cahors Malbec

The Croze De Pys Prestige is a magnificent expression of Malbec from the renowned Cahors region, celebrated for producing some of the finest examples of this varietal. This red wine showcases a deep, alluring color that hints at its rich character. On the palate, it delights with a full-bodied structure that offers a well-balanced mouthfeel, complemented by a vibrant acidity that adds liveliness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berries, blackcurrants, and a touch of plum, creating a sumptuous fruit-forward profile. Tannins are notable, lending a firm grip that supports the wine’s complexity and age-worthy potential. With a dry finish, this vintage from 2011 captures the essence of Cahors, making it an exceptional choice for both casual meals and special occasions.

Region:


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.
