Cuvée from near Cahors in Quercy in the southwest of France. Dark red to violet. Dark cherries and a smoky bacon note on the nose. But also a delicate freshness reminiscent of mint. In the taste more red cherries and berries as well as a finely dosed spiciness. Quite elegant. Typical for Malbec, it goes well with red meat and hearty dishes. Easily punching above its weight in its price class!
Drink from 2022 through 2027.

| Appellation: |
Vin de France The Vin de France classification is the lowest in the three-tier hierarchy of French wine classifications. The others being Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) and Appellation d'Origine Protégée/Controllée (AOP/AOC). It replaced the previous designation vin de table ("table wine") in 2009. Strictly speaking, vin de France is no appellation but a designation. It allows greater flexibility in the production of wines compared to the higher-quality classifications. Not to be confused with Vin de Pays, which is the former term for IGP wines. |
