The original “black wine” of Cahors is obviously alive and well—and living in the Loire valley, to judge by the color of this wine. Made from ungrafted Malbec, this is rich, unoaked, a ripe but stalky textured wine that gives great perfumes and a firm, juicy and tannic aftertaste.

Made partly from ungrafted Chenin Blanc planted in 1979, this is an astonishingly opulent wine. It has spice, white currants and acidity, with a tight texture underlying the super-ripe fruit.

Fruity wine from one of the best produces of Gamay in the Loire. Cherry flavors, bright acidity and just a touch of tannin on this youthful wine.
