Cahors 2018
A both straightforward and profound Malbec with aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry) and spices (licorice, cinnamon, cocoa), with supple tannins. A red that is all together concentrated and distinguished.
As famous for its Valentré bridge as it is for its "black wine", Cahors has a diverse geology for its vineyards, between Causse and alluvial terraces of the Lot. The oldest ones, called "second" and "third" terraces, are the most sought after because they are the most qualitative. It is this terroir that is preferred for this cuvée, as well as the limestone plateau of the Causse. Classically vinified in the Bordeaux style, this Cahors is matured for a year without too much wood to preserve its freshness and roundness.
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.
