The wine
This straw gold, semi-sweet wine offers up aromas of exotic fruits, hazelnuts, dried apricots, vanilla and truffles. These flavours are also prominent on the palate while a very nice acidic quality provides balance and good ageing potential.
About the Producer Château du Cèdre
The Château du Cèdre is one of the most renowned domaines in the Cahors appellation. The adventure began in 1958, when Charles Verhaeghe started to plant vines on a mixed-crop holding. His two sons, Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe then took the reins, Pascal taking care of the vinification and Jean-Marc of the vines. The 27-hectare vineyard boasts a magnificent terroir and is planted with 90% Malbec. The wines from this domaine are of excellent quality and consistency. The two brothers also recently took over some vines in Roussillon.
