If the Gault & Millau described the GC 2008 as being a “magic” wine, 2009 should be considered as being “cosmic”. Let’s only spend few words on its colour, that’s as black as a Malbec from Cahors should be and go on to have a look at the bouquet…

Already rich and complex, full of red and black fruits, with violet and mint again, but also cedar wood, white pepper and cocoa beans. Both fresh and mellow, with silky tannins that overlay the entire palate, you will find the characteristic minerality of the GC, pairing with endless length. It will be the guest of honour at your table for many years to come.

Wine details

Area of production : AOP Cahors
Soil and climate : The vines of Château du Cèdre root in two different types of soil: The terroirs, composed of stony clay and limestone, give straight wines with fine tannins, while more powerful and dense wines come from soils composed of clay, sand and a large quantity of pebbles.
Grape varieties : 100% Malbec
Type of winemaking : Grapes are hand picked and sorted. Harvest is fully destemmed. 40 days of fermentation and maceration in 500-litre oak vats, with regular punching down of the skin cap at the beginning of fermentation for extraction of colour and tannins.
Type of ageing: Malolactic fermentation is followed by 24 months of ripening in the same oak vats. Bottled without filtering.
