Clos Triguedina 2005 The Black Wine Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $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.

Clos Triguedina 2005 Probus Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
Named after the Roman emperor who introduced vines to Cahors in the 3rd century, this 100% Malbec from old vines is a wonderfully rich wine, dark in color and dominated by dense, smoky tannins. There is wood there, a subtle underlay to all the black, ripe fruits. It should be aged for five years at least.

Clos Triguedina 2005 Red (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $49
Still young, this wine shows the firm tannins of ripe Malbec, allied with some equally tannic Tannat. At this stage its berry fruits and acidity will cut through grilled red meats with ease. In 4–5 years, the richness of the wine will come through.

- Online Exclusive
- $61
Made from Chenin Blanc, harvested at night, and with a delicate botrytis edge, this is a fresh wine, reveling in honeyed acidity, with quince and honey-and-lemon flavors. It’s fresh to drink now, but will certainly age.

Clos Triguedina 2005 Le Malbec du Clos (Vin de Pays du Comté Tolosan)

A wine that is all about fruit. The flavors are of licorice, with some bitter herbs, but there’s also black currant jelly to go along with the fresh and vibrant acidity.
