Prestige du Malbec

2007 Cahors Malbec

Chateau Lamartine Prestige du Malbec is a stunning representation of the Malbec varietal, originating from the renowned Cahors region in France. This full-bodied red wine showcases a vibrant garnet color, inviting you to explore its depths. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of high acidity, providing a mouthwatering freshness that perfectly complements its rich, dark fruit intensity, featuring luscious blackberries and ripe plums. The tannins are notably structured, lending a firm yet smooth texture that enhances the wine's complexity. As you savor each sip, you will appreciate its dry profile, allowing the fruit and earthy undertones to shine without distraction. With its elegant character and remarkable aging potential, this vintage truly embodies the essence of Cahors Malbec.

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.
