Vin Du Prince De Danemark

2011 Cahors Malbec

Chateau De Cayx Vin Du Prince De Danemark is an exquisite red wine that beautifully showcases the rich character of Cahors. This 2011 vintage Malbec greets the senses with its deep, inky color, hinting at the bold flavors to come. The body of this wine is full, allowing a generous mouthfeel that is both satisfying and captivating. Its acidity is pronounced, adding a lively brightness to the experience, while the rich fruit intensity presents itself with prominent notes of blackberries and cassis. Tannins are structured and well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that supports the fruit and elevates the overall complexity. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own to appreciate its depth and richness.

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.
