2023 | Chateau de Gaudou 'Puro Malbec' | Cahors Maison CR and exceptional balanceThis ancient, 17th century chteau located about an hour from the city of Cahors is making some fantastic and well priced cuves. This is a young savory Malbec from vineyards around Cahors, known as Cot du Lot It is soft, packed with black fruits and with layers of spicy acidity and just a tannic touch. More on the light bodied, this is a wonderful Malbec to drink slightly chilled at any time of the year on its own or with a variety of meats and cheeses.
