Georges Vigouroux 2009 Cuvée Icône du Château Leret Monpezat Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $130
A ripe, wood-aged wine, this has a wood element that’s intensely spicy and toasty. The weight of the sweet plum fruit and tannins are equally powerful and concentrated. A selection of the best of Château Leret Monpezat, this will need at least five years of aging before it should be touched.

Georges Vigouroux 2009 Cuvée Icône du Château de Mercuès Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $140
While this is big, powerful and rich, it keeps a sense of proportion and elegance. A dark chocolate flavor and firm tannins show the wood influence, while the rich blueberry-compote note brings in both texture and fruitiness. This needs at least 6–7 years.

Georges Vigouroux 2009 Cuvée Icône du Château de Haute-Serre Malbec (Cahors)
- $140
Made using fruit sourced from the high-elevation Haute-Serre estate, this wine is surprisingly elegant despite the high alcohol. It has a fresh blackberry flavor, with acidity that’s balanced by the stewed-fruit richness. The tarry texture and firm tannins all promise long-term aging.

Georges Vigouroux 2009 Château Pech de Jammes Malbec (Cahors)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Located on high ground to the east of Cahors, this estate was replanted in the 1980s at a high density. Rich, smooth and dense, this shows concentrated ripe plum and juicy blackberry flavors and, above all, firm tannins. Wood aging has smoothed the rough edges.
