Réserve

2019 Cahors Malbec

Chateau Leret Reserve Réserve is a delightful expression of Malbec, hailing from the esteemed Cahors region in France. This red wine showcases a full-bodied profile complemented by a pronounced acidity that brightens the palate, making it incredibly refreshing. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berry fruits, particularly blackcurrant and ripe plum, which interplay beautifully with subtle notes of spice and earthiness typical of this terroir. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth to the wine. This captivating vintage from 2019 is proudly dry, allowing the natural fruit characteristics to shine, making it a fantastic companion for hearty meals or enjoyed on its own.

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.
