Domaine De La Berangeraie, Cuvée Maurin

A great introduction to the Malbecs of Cahors, with lots of typicity

Run by the exceptionally hard-working Bérenger family, the Domaine is in the hands of Maurin, his wife Marlène (both oenologists), sister Juline and her husband Henri who have diplomas in viticulture. They are one of the only Domaines in Cahors where all the vines are hand-harvested. Hand-harvesting is four times more expensive than machine harvesting, but it prolongs the life of the vine and is the only way to ensure the quality of every grape that goes into the fermentation vat.

A very typical Cahors, which has notes of black fruits and a hint of spice. The palate has concentrated tannins, and the finish is long.
