Tasting Notes

A very concentrated, intense colour. An expressive bouquet of cooked black fruit. The bouquet boasts good balance, providing both substance and power. The aromas of liquorice and vanilla are in perfect harmony with the supple, smooth tannins.

Serving suggestions

This wine of wonderful, full substance can be tasted breast or confit of duck.

In the heart of Quattre, at the hamlet of CARRALS, two small parcels of land make up this estate’s vineyard. The terroir is exceptional: clay limestone over fractured red earth composed of ancient boulbènes, all covered over with a layer of white pebbles. The estate also enjoys excellent sun exposure, and has been recognised as one of the finest terroirs in the Cahors appellation

Tasting Notes

The wine boasts a remarkably deep red colour. The nose is complex, dominated by aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry. The tannins are dense, smooth and concentrated, inflected with notes of vanilla and liquorice. The overall impression is one of balance and substance, with well-rounded sensations and an excellent length of flavour on the palate.

Serving suggestions

An excellent wine to decant and serve with a shoulder of lamb or a roasted duck.
