Château du Cèdre Grand Cru Cahors 2015

Domaine History

GC is a distinct prestige cuvée of Château du Cèdre in the AOC Cahors appellation. This product is the 2015 vintage of GC.

Terroir

The exact 2015 record describes a blend of two Cahors terroirs: limestone scree cones known as Tran and a well-drained clay-siliceous Mindel high terrace rich in rounded pebbles.

Winemaking

The 2015 GC is made from 100% Malbec. Fermentation took place in open new 500-litre barrels, with punch-downs at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation. The wine matured for 30 months in barrel and was bottled without filtration.

Tasting Notes

The exact-vintage reviews describe black plum, berries and cassis with violet, menthol and toasted notes. The palate combines firm tannins, lively acidity, marked minerality, volume and a rounded structure.

A structured, age-worthy 2015 Cahors GC built around pure Malbec, mineral freshness and extended barrel maturation.

Pairing

Serve with roast or braised lamb, duck confit, venison stew or aged hard cheese.
