The estate and the wine |
|
|
Star of the Cahors appellation, the Château du Cèdre is a reference for all lovers of great wines. The Verhaeghe brothers know better than anyone how to transform their splendid terroirs of limestone and red clay into wines of a rare harmony, made from perfectly ripe grapes, which perfectly release a palate of incredible richness, with precise tannins and a majestic texture. |

|
| |
|
The 2018 Red Cahors Le Cèdre is a dense, compact wine with perfect aging potential. Powerful and intense, it conforms to the classic style of the appellation, with an additional sapid and digestible character, and a crisp touch and spicy tannins. A very nice bottle of character and great aging potential, to be enjoyed with simmered red meat or roast beef in a crust. |
