Tasting Notes
Chocolately woodspice, coffee grounds and smoky vanilla waft over a deep pool of ripe dark berries and dried herbs. This is concentrated and succulent. Right now, with a bit of rare roast beef, Yorkies and gravy, oh yes please. Slightly earthy, succulent blackberry fruit.
More Info
Located in the western corner of Cahors in the village of Lacapelle-Cabanac, third generation winemaker Benoit Aymard took over the reins of his small and slightly dilpidated family domaine in 2014. He enjoys drinking Gamay and Loire reds, and it's this freshness and drinkability that guides his decisions at harvest and in the cellar. Thus, Benoit focuses on emphasising the beautiful fruit that Malbec can offer and moving away from the more austere or over extracted style Cahors and the grape is known for.
