2023 Château du Cèdre Cahors 'Juveniles'

100% certified organic Malbec from 15-30 year old vines on limestone. Vinified without addition of sulphites- zero/zero! Extraction by punching down the cap at the beginning of fermentation. Barrel fermentation for about 30 days at 25°C. Elevage without addition of sulphites in 57 HL casks. Medium to deep purple in color. Aromas of black plum, cassis, ripe blackberry, açaí blueberry, leather, vanilla, & earthy minerality. Palate is dry, but fruit forward. Medium bodied, with juicy acid and mellow tannins. The palate mirrors the nose with some notes of black olive and bitter cocoa towards the finish. Altogether a fresh and drinkable Malbec! These wines are quite approachable when young and also age exceptionally well.retai
