Clos Triguedina Cahors, crafted by Jean-Luc Baldès, is a quintessential expression of the Cahors region in France, which is known as the original home of the Malbec grape. The wine is comprised mostly of Malbec, with small amounts of Merlot and Tannat, which add complexity and structure. The terroir here, characterized by its limestone-rich soils and the meandering Lot River, imparts distinct minerality and depth to the wine. Traditional vinification and 18 months of oak aging lend to a robust profile with well-integrated tannins. Clos Triguedina is celebrated for its historical significance and has been consistently praised in wine reviews, maintaining a reputation for excellence in the region.
