Château du Cèdre 2006 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $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.

Château du Cèdre 2007 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $60
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.

Château du Cèdre 2006 GC Malbec (Cahors)
- $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.

Château du Cèdre 2008 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $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.

Château du Cèdre 2002 GC Malbec (Cahors)
Since 2000, this top cuvée made by Pascal Verhaeghe, shows the results of Verhaeghe’s experience in Burgundy and in California at Saintsbury winery in Napa. Its barrel aging creates a smooth texture, allowing the Malbec to express itself in huge black fruits and strong mint char-acter. It needs aging even after six years—give it another four at least.

Château du Cèdre 2007 GC Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $130
Inky black in color, this is strong stuff. The wood aromas are overdone, but on the palate, the wine is rich, allowing the tarry black berry fruits and herbs to show through. Designed for aging; keep for 4–5 years.

Château du Cèdre 2008 GC Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $139
Intense wood-aged wine. The wood is still apparent in this intense, youthful wine, although the richly concentrated mint and black fruit flavors are sure to come through in a year or two. This is certainly ageworthy, a wine that packs all the right structure and dark fruit character.

Château du Cèdre 2002 Le Cèdre Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
From a selection of different parcels on the estate of Château du Cèdre, here is a wine that broods in the glass. It’s just beginning to give out its dark fruits, very black and jammy, along with serious amounts of wood, tight spice and menthol. Powerful, impressive.
