Château Lamartine 2012 Cuvée Particulière Malbec-Tannat (Cahors)

Country: France / Cuvée Particulière
Variety: Malbec-Tannat Southwest France
Winery: Château Lamartine / Cahors

While there are powerful tannins at work here, this wine is mainly full of rich black fruits that have a juicy side from the acidity. The addition of Tannat brings even more tannin to the wine while also giving it density and longevity. Drink from 2019. The wine comes from a long-time wine family that tended the few remaining Malbec grapes that survived phylloxera of late 1800s. Alain Gayraud is the current owner.
