WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted by Didier Pelvillain, the skilled winemaker, the vineyards at Cahors thrive in the single parcel "Inspiration 7.9," overlooking the Lot River. Planted 32 years ago by Didier's mother, Odile Delpon, the vines exclusively yield Malbec, with an output of about 50 hectoliters per hectare. Encompassing 52 hectares in Albas and Preyssac, the estate, managed sustainably by Didier, is undergoing biodynamic conversion. With a commitment to minimal intervention, only indigenous yeasts are employed. Once renowned for its 'black wine,' Cahors has embraced a quality-driven approach under Didier's stewardship, resulting in a refined, floral, and savory wine with dark plum fruit, minerality, and a peppery finish.

On the palate, it is full-bodied with flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and toasted oak, leading to a long and smooth finish. Enjoy with robust cheeses or grilled proteins.

South West France has a long and storied history of winemaking. The region has been producing wine since the Roman era, and it has been an important part of the local culture ever since. In the Middle Ages, the region was known for its fortified wines, and it was a major producer of sweet wines during the Renaissance.
