  • Malbec has had two successful incarnations, one as the prized French bottles of Queens, Tzars, and popes, the other in the wildly popular Argentine wines populating shop shelves and restaurant tables overnight. Vignerons Herve and Diane Fabre work both in Mendoza and in Cahors at their Chateau du Perry.
  • For their 2022 Cahors, they fermented the wine in large French oak casks and then aged in cement, giving the rich core a soft texture with a fresh, youthful exterior. Plum and violet aromatics help frame the crushed raspberry and cassis notes on the palate.
  • Good on its own, this wonderfully versatile red will also complement a steak and red onion salad or hearty black bean burgers!

Producer Notes
Herve Fabre is a fourth-generation winemaker. Originally from Bordeaux, Herve and his wife Diane acquired Chateau du Perry (38 hectares) in 2017 from the Rigal family. They are also the driving force behind Argentina bodega 'Fabre' in the Mendoza wine region.

Vineyard Notes
This wine perfectly illustrates the variety of terroirs within the appellation and is made from grapes from the alluvial terraces and the clay-limestone causse. The region's specific climate offers a long, dry summer and a warm autumn with moderate rain, ideal conditions for perfect maturity. The natural undulation of the terraces protects the terroir from cold air masses coming from the north.

Winemaking Notes
The grapes are carefully selected and treated with the utmost respect to preserve the harvest's potential. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures between 20 and 28 degrees C, and extraction takes place by punching-down. Maceration takes place between 25 to 30 days. The wine is aged in 400-liter French oak barrels for 12 months, then transferred to cement vats for further aging before being bottled.

Tasting Notes
This wine is rich and concentrated, marked by woody and spicy notes and supported by flavors of prunes and red fruits. Lively and balanced, helped by fine tannins, Chateau du Perry will be enjoyed with equal pleasure after a few years of aging.

The 2022 Chateau du Perry Cahors Malbec [...] begins with seductive aromas of black raspberries, blueberries and roasted plums, woven together with hay, spices and dried herbs, which all come together and soar from the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied with remarkable depth and concentration. It continues to impress with juicy dark fruits and a touch of sour cherry nuances, which combine with exotic spices that persist through the very long finish.
