Georges Vigouroux 2006 Château de Haute-Serre Malbec (Cahors)
- $21
The perfumes of wood mingle with sweet Malbec berry fruit aromas. The wine is in a style that initially emphasizes the fresh, juicy fruit. Then it moves in on the tannins to give a densely dry wine, finishing with a tight, mineral edge.

From a vineyard managed by the Vigouroux family, Leret Monpezat’s wine is big, dry, its massive dark fruit a powerful underlay for a series of tannins. The wine’s depth is immense, powerful, a great concentration of licorice and blackberry flavors. Age for 3–4 years.

Georges Vigouroux 2008 Château de Mercuès Malbec (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
An intensely black-colored wine, with dark, smoky tannins to match. It does have a juicy, ripe sweet berry fruit element, laying under the surface tannins. With this power, it needs several years to develop.

Georges Vigouroux 2005 Château de Haute-Serre Cuvée Géron Dadine Malbec (Cahors)
- $45
This is the top wine from Château Haute-Serre, a powerful expression of Malbec, very dense and solid, but certainly not overpowering. It has ripe fruit that is held in check by brooding tannins and a firm structure, giving it weight but also surprising restraint. Age for 4–5 years.

Georges Vigouroux 2005 Château Mercuès Cuvée 6666 Malbec (Cahors)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
The curious name refers to the density of the vines per hectare (2,700 per acre), giving the vines stress and therefore smaller yields per plant. The result is a tough, concentrated wine, powered by tannins, new wood and very structured fruit. Give it 10 years.

Georges Vigouroux 2005 Château de Mercuès Red (Cahors)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Power is the best word to describe this solidly structured wine. Its tannins are dominant at this stage, giving a dense, dry core to the rich black fruits and bitter chocolate. The final adds on appealing black currant perfumes.
