Château Lagrézette 2009 Le Pigeonnier Malbec (Cahors)

Cellar Selection

Price $290

A small vineyard of six acres is used to produce this magnificent incarnation of Malbec. Black as ink and firmly tannic, a toughness magnified by new wood, this is still a richly fruity wine that will age superbly to give power and complexity. Keep for at least four years. — R.V. (6/1/2013)

Château Lagrézette 1997 Le Pigeonnier Malbec (Cahors)

Price $60

A voluptuous blockbuster in the style we are becoming accustomed to from über-consultant Michel Rolland: big, deeply fruited (black cherries) and plush, with elegantly etched spice shadings from new oak. The tannins are supple but substantial; it should age for a long time. Made entirely from old-vine Malbec and named after the pigeon coop in the Château’s courtyard. — J.C. (3/1/2001)

Château Lagrézette 2000 Le Pigeonnier Malbec (Cahors)

Price $175

This is Alain Dominique Perrin’s answer to the black wine of Cahors. Hugely dark in color, this micro cuvée is still impenetrable after eight years. The power and the density edge towards the medicinal, with a very herbal element in the flavors alongside the wood, black-plum skins and spice. — R.V. (11/1/2008)

Château Lagrézette 2003 Le Pigeonnier Malbec (Cahors)

Cellar Selection

Price $110

This is the show stopper of the range from Alain Dominique Perrin’s Lagrezette. It expresses the most powerful Malbec tannins and superripe fruit, without losing sight of the mineral edge. The fruit of this beautiful wine, while opulent, is poised with fine acidity. — R.V. (3/1/2010)
