Chateau de Haute-Serre Cahors Mablec
Availability:12 In Stock
Malbec (90%), Merlot (7%), Tannat (3%) Fruit, fine tannins and good length on the palate make this one of the rare Cahors that can be drunk right from its early years as well as after lengthy aging.
A place bathed in sunshine from the start of the day... a stony soil with red clay... excellent southwest and southeast-facing sun exposure – in short, an ideal location for growing Malbec! The 63 hectares of vines grow on slopes with clay soil at an altitude of 300 meters – one of the highest vineyards in the appellation.
Wine-Making: The wine is left for a long time on the skins, and fermentation is rigorously temperature-controlled. It is aged for 10-12 months in oak barrels (1/3 news, 1/3 one year old, 1/3 two years old).
Tasting: Very dark color with carmine highlights and a wonderfully complex and powerful bouquet of morello cherry, blackcurrant, and spices. The freshness and fruitiness on the nose carry over beautifully to the palate, which has a long, silky aftertaste.
Food and Wine Pairings:
Perfect on a roasted meat like T-bone, it goes also very well with
mighty French cheeses and dark chocolate.
Aging potential: 5 to 20 years
