Supple, elegant and harmonious.

Tasting Notes: Intense red fruit bouquet with morello cherry at the forefront. On tasting, the wine bursts with redcurrant, warm sweet spice and liquorice. Supple, with fine tannins, generous in fruit and good length. The Château de Flore Cahors Malbec is a living paradox… elegant and supple but direct and unambiguous. Enjoy the perfect harmony of juicy fruit and spice from the Master of Malbec himself!
On the Vineyard they work with High Environmental Value certification and are
meticulous in their efforts to work responsibility. Their commitment to soil integrity
and preservation is central to their practices. The grapes are harvested early in the
morning. Followed by destemming and then by low-temperature fermentation to
preserve the freshness and the delicacy of the fruit. Light opulence is achieved by
extracting one part of the juice with aid of an Inertis press. No oak aging is used in
order to produce a wine of pure fruit.
The Baldès family enjoys a long history in the Cahors region with the first plots
being planted back in 1830 in the Clos Triguedina, having identified the best
terraces of the Lot valley. The current proprietor is Jean-Luc Baldès and who
continues the family innovations in Cahors production – the family was the first to
introduce stainless steel vats for vinification and was also the first to produce a
Malbec rosé. He enlarged the surface area of the estate to twice its size and
developed the production of fine wines. The estate’s red and white wines receive
regular praise in the press and are awarded nationally and internationally - Jean-Luc Baldès has elevated his wines to the highest level in the region.
