Deep intense ruby color. Ripe fruit on the nose. Round and mellow in the mouth, this wine seduces with its fruit and well-matured tannins that bring persistence and finesse. Beautiful finish that is both harmonious and ample.

The vineyard covers 100 hectares and is spread over three main plots (clay-gravel, clay-limestone and thick clay). The vines are on average 25 years old. At harvest, the grapes are harvested at low yields and each plot is vinified in separate tanks. The wine is aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks and oak before being bottled. Own cultivation and bottling with the respect of ecological practices.

The 4000 ha appellation of Cahors, which has been an AOC since 1971, is one of the oldest in France. Already King Francis I and the Tsar's court enjoyed Cahors wines. Clos du Caillau is situated in a sheltered south-west position on alluvial terraces in the narrow, winding Lot Valley. The vineyards are covered with river pebbles, hence the name Clos du Caillau. The vineyards are planted on hills of calcareous rock above the Lot River and on alluvial land at the bottom of the valley.

This wine is perfect for sipping or with meat dishes, tuna (raw or cooked), and firm cheeses.
