An impressively rich wine, this is a dense, spicy wine packed with black fruits. The wood aging for 12 months has polished the tannins and brightened the acidity. (RV)

The 2020 Chateau du Perry was a wild success. It showed that the home region of Cahors was finding a happy medium of making fun more accessible Malbecs, and at reasonable prices. The 2022 is a worthy successor. When you see it in the glass, you know why Cahors was the original "black wine" and was used to prop up Bordeaux bottlings a couple of centuries ago. It simply stains the glass and immediately shows its depth of flavor. The '22 is a touch bigger on the palate than the 2020 with even more sumptuous flavors of black raspberry, currants, grilled meat and savory spices. It erupt from the glass! This is a LOT of wine for under $15 and will surely delight drinkers of Cabernet, Bordeaux and of course, Argentine Malbec.

While Argentina currently champions the Malbec varietal, it is no secret that Cahors France is it's true origin. Here it shows lighter, crunchy red fruits, savory dried herbs, black peppercorns, a touch of earth, and a long spicy finish. A great introduction to the category, as it demonstrates the characteristics of Malbec from Cahors, while being a delicious, crowd-pleasing wine, at an entry level price point.

Notes

Vigneron Hervé Joyaux Fabre began his career as a Bordeaux merchant but the wines of Argentina began to gain his attention. Falling in love with the category, he purchased his winery in Mendoza and created in Fabre Montmayou in 1992. Gaining much success there it was not until 2015 when Fabre turned his sight back to the birthplace of Malbec, Cahors. Impressed with the diverse terroirs that Cahors had, he gathered a group of investors together and formed Les Vignobles St Didier Parnac. The Château du Perry is part of that group and has holdings on both the clay-limestone hillsides and the alluvial terraces just above the Lot River. The wine is made from 100% Malbec that is aged in large oak barrel for 12 months before transferring to concrete tanks to rest before bottling. The wine is rich and concentrated with flavors of dried plum and red berries. This is a great Malbec for now but has plenty of structure to develop for a few more years.
