Chateau du Cedre Cahors Le Cedre 2020

Full Product Description (From the manufacturer)

The 27-hectare vineyard is planted on three parcels. Numerous passes are made in the vineyard to ensure the perfect health, quality, and ripeness of the grapes, and all the work is carried out by hand as, since 1992, no chemicals have been used. The grapes for this wine come from vines planted 30-50 years ago, located on the prized third row of terrasses and cropped at yields of only about 20hl/ha. From one of the leading estates in Cahors, this wine expresses an abundance of rich black-plum fruits. It is a fine, balanced wine with structured tannins and intense potential. The wine will be ready from 2026. Organic. Cellar Selection Lovely nose with dark cherries, boysenberries and stemmy herbs with a hint of dark earth and white pepper. Quite a narrow delivery with medium to full body and fine tannins. Lively and tense on the mid-palate, showing crunchy blueberries and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Already approachable now, but can hold. With an austere character, the 2020 Le Cèdre reveals a deep, somber bouquet of licorice, oak, dark berries and cedar. Full-bodied, sappy and dense, it has a fleshy core of fruit, structured tannins and a long but firm finish. The vintage is well captured in this wine, which will benefit from some time to mellow and fully integrate its powerful elements.
