Georges Vigouroux Chateau Leret Monpezat, Cahors, France 2016

Description

Wine Enthusiast 92

"A comfortable blend of Malbec and Merlot gives a wine that is balanced with dark fruits and acidity. It is a fine wine, with serious tannins and a mineral texture and acidity that promise aging. Drink the wine from 2024." 

The large percentage of Malbec gives this wine all the characteristics of a classic Cahors. Located in the heart of the appellation, Château Leret Monpezat has a deep, rich color of impressive density. Redolent of blackcurrant in its youth, Château Leret Monpezat has plenty of body and good length. The powerful tannins are softened by wellintegrated oak from ageing in barrels.
