Description

Chateau du Cedre Cahors is brooding and dark, with hints of red fruits, smoke and mineral and blood oranges. This is 90% Malbec with 5% Tannat (gives tannins and colour) and 5 % Merlot (Gives roundness and perfume). It has all the charm of Malbec – purple tones, blue and black fruits, meaty, spicy, savoury notes. Fleshy palate, nice structure but in balance. Chateau du Cedre Cahors is a wine that will age magnificently. Especially the 2016 which is a cracking vintage. And what makes it a good vintage, also makes it perfect for drinking now.

Château du Cèdre is a leading estate in Cahors. Most of Chateau du Cedre’s 24 hectares of vineyards are located on the prime “3rd Terrasses” which are so highly prized in this appellation. These are regarded as the best-situated vineyards in Cahors for high-quality wines, where the vines can achieve the best balance without too much moisture. Du Cèdre has four quality levels in their wines, each offering a clear step up in density and intensity. The Verhaeghe family are also a strong driving force in the quality revival of Cahors, helping institute a Quality Charter to help regain the appellation’s rightful glory.

Cahors

A red only region that has two distinct terroirs but each shares a high amount of ironstone in the soils. Malbec makes up no less than 70% of the blend ably supported by Merlot and Tannat (amongst others). The best wines are dark, mineral, textural and structured. They possess a good ability to improve with time in the cellar.

Malbec

One of the lesser reds of the Bordeaux pantheon. It can be fickle in the vineyard. However, in Cahors, it is the basis for the charming, rugged Black wine. In South America, it is a charming red wine. Also known as Cot and Auxerrois.
