Clos La Coutale Cahors Malbec 2021 Bottle

The Bernede family farm 60 hectares on the gentle slopes rising from the Lot river, rich in siliceous, clay and limestone soils. Philippe has tinkered with the blend over the years to achieve a fine equilibrium, and today the blend consists of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot, creating an intense wine combining local rusticity with everyday drinking. This would be superb with a cassoulet that is rich in duck fat and plump sausages; a really fun wine and good value.
