Château du Cèdre 2006 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $60
Almost black in color, this is a wonderful wine with a long development ahead. At the moment, wood is still too dominant, but just taste the weight of the darkest plum and sweet fig fruit flavors, a line of licorice and bitter coffee and huge, dry tannins.  — R.V.  (3/1/2010)

Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011
The third and most impressive wine in a series of single-vineyard wines, from the 900-foot plateau above the Lot River. This is a wine to age, very mineral in character and very structured, with tight tannins. Keep for six years and more.  — R.V.  (3/1/2011)

High toast aromas are filled out on the palate with rich, concentrated fruit and bitter chocolate flavors. This powerful, impressive wine is spicy and densely packed. At this stage, it feels hard edged, but that will fill out in the next 3–4 years as the wine broadens out.  — R.V.  (12/15/2010)

Jean-Luc Baldès 2006 Clos Triguedina The New Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)

By heating part of the must before vinification, Jean-Luc Baldès has revived the medieval way of making Cahors, when it was know as the black wine. It gives, literally, black colored wine, with flavors of stewed prunes allied to intense, dry tannins. Red berries add freshness, but this is more jelly, cooked fruits and darkness.  — R.V.  (2/1/2010)

Clos Triguedina 2005 The Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $156
In the Middle Ages, the wines of Cahors used to be called “black wines” and the tradition comes from cooking the grapes for a night after harvest. Jean-Luc Baldès has revived the tradition in this limited production wine, with its glass-staining deep crimson color. The palate is dominated by prunes, dried raisins and a series of impressive perfumes that go through…  — R.V.  (11/1/2008)

Jean-Luc Baldès 2007 Clos Triguedina The New Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
Prunes and dark chocolate, rather than fresh fruits, dominate this dark-hued wine. It has big spice along with dense tannins, power and immense concentration. The acidity brings a light moment of freshness. For aging, 4–5 years.  — R.V.  (9/1/2010)

Château du Cèdre 2006 GC Malbec (Cahors)

  1. $135
Despite the 100% new wood, this wine (GC stands for Grand Cru) is beautifully restrained. It has such delicious fruit and the ripest of tannins, pierced with the wood flavors, but never dominated by them. It is obviously a wine for aging, still bursting with fresh fruit and acidity.  — R.V.  (3/1/2010)

Château du Cèdre 2008 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $56
The top wine of Château du Cèdre is beautifully balanced, its chewy tannins given the right perspective by the impressively dark fruits. The wine is brooding, profound, concentrated and complex. Age for at least 6 years.  — R.V.  (3/1/2012)
