Cahors – Limestone – Château les Croisille 2022

Grape variety: 100% Malbec

Features :
Grown on high-altitude limestone soils, this Cahors breaks the mold of the appellation with its freshness and finesse. The wine boasts a brilliant, deep ruby ​​color. The nose is captivating in its purity, with vibrant aromas of cherry, redcurrant, and violet, accompanied by subtle menthol and mineral notes. On the palate, it's a Malbec of great tension: direct, juicy, almost ethereal, with a saline structure that reflects its limestone origins. The tannins are fine and precise, leading to a long and lingering finish.

Food and Wine Pairings:
This wine pairs wonderfully with fresh, flavorful cuisine: pink duck breast, vegetarian tagine, herb-crusted veal chop, or even bluefin tuna ceviche for an unexpected yet sublime combination. It also complements hard cheeses beautifully.

The Estate:
Château Les Croisille, located in Luzech, is one of the most dynamic and modern estates in Cahors. The Croisille family practices organic farming there, with a meticulous approach to each individual plot. The Calcaire cuvée fully expresses the freshness and verticality of its white soils, offering a pure and contemporary expression of Malbec.
