Domaine du Prince, Cahors, L'Envol du Prince, 2022
From the historic vineyards of Cahors in southwest France, this expressive Malbec showcases the modern revival of a once-forgotten region. Domaine du Prince, a 67-hectare family estate run by Didier Jouves and his son Léo, is devoted entirely to Malbec (locally known as Auxerrois or Cot). Their vineyards sit on a chalky clay plateau west of Cahors, where Atlantic and Mediterranean influences combine to create balance and character in the wines. Aged for one year in concrete vats, preserving purity of fruit and freshness without the influence of oak.
The nose is open and aromatic, with delicate notes of redcurrant, violet and a subtle hint of fennel. On the palate, it is silky and rounded, with velvety tannins and a vibrant core of red and black fruits - think currant, blackberry and damson. A wonderfully versatile food wine, it pairs effortlessly with grilled meats.
