AOP Cahors Malbec

Ageing in new 225 litre oak barrels (French oak, slight heat) for 20 months.

T3: Soil is rich in stones of the same kind of composition as the second terrace but because these alluvions were deposited earlier by the river, this soil has been leached more the T2, hence slightly poorer. Therefore these vines were
subject to interesting constraints and also had to develop their root systems further to access water required.
