The wine

The domain’s Cuvée Prestige, GC gives off intense aromas of black fruits, spices, and subtle, woody notes from its élevage. On the palate, the wine is at once supple, powerful and generous, with a lovely structure. Made for laying down, this cuvée will amply reward several years of cellaring. To produce this nectar of the gods, the wine was fermented in new, open barrels with a 500-litre capacity, and punched down at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation. The wine was raised for two years, in the same barrels as those used for vinification, and bottled without being filtered.

Information about domain 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.
