"Villa des Causses" 2022
100% Malbec, Villa Des Causses is a cuvée that combines the authenticity of a world-renowned native grape variety with modern winemaking techniques. The result is seductive, colorful, fragrant, full-bodied and rich. Extremely easy to drink, it can easily be paired with a multitude of cuisines.
The region's “continental” climate takes advantage of the meandering Lot as a thermal regulator, softening winters and tempering summer heat in the valley. In autumn, the Lot becomes a natural barrier to precipitation from the north. The plots selected for this wine are located on two main types of terroir: the terraces along the Lot valley and the causse, the limestone plateau overlooking the valley. These shallow soils are sensitive to drought, but give a very spicy aromatic expression. The aim of this cuvée is to obtain ripe grapes without excessive concentration.
The nose reveals pleasant notes of red and black fruits, as well as a delicate woody note reminiscent of juniper and nutmeg. Ample and generous on the palate, with silky tannins and the same range of aromas as on the nose. Savory finish.
At the beginning, companions in love with the wines of the South-West decided to share their passion... They soon had an idea, a tenuous one, to do what no one had ever done, to create a quality wine merchant's house on the theme of the wines of the South-West, following the example of other regions such as Burgundy, the Rhone... Under the impulse of Lionel Osmin, "Lionel Osmin et Cie" was born, to carry loudly and clearly the discovery of the grape varieties and unique terroirs of this region: Jurançon, Cahors, Gaillac, Bergerac, and even Marcillac.
