Chateau du Cedre Cahors Heritage 2020

Made from a blend of 95% Malbec and 5% Merlot, including fruit grown by local producers that Pascal consults to. About 70% is lighter and finer material from the limestone plateau (the causses) and 30% richer and denser fruit from the iron-rich gravelly terraces of the Lot River valley. The vines average 25-30 years and about 85% of the fruit is currently certified organic, with one grower at year 2 in conversion.
Fermented for a total of 20 days, with regular punch-downs for the first 3 or 4 days only. Malo-lactic conversion is carried out in tank, then the wine is matured for 18 months in 90% concrete tanks, with 10% aged in 2 year-old barrels. 2015 was an excellent vintage, mostly sunny and dry and not too warm. The fruit was harvested from 24th September in pristine condition.
