Valérie Courrèges Ocrement-Dit Cahors (75cl)

Valérie Courrèges Ocrement-Dit is a red Cahors made from Malbec, offering a modern reading of the appellation with a precise, polished style rather than a rustic one. The nose is expressive, with blackberry and cherry, a touch of spice and a hint of liquorice. On the palate it is direct and well defined, with dark fruit, fine tannins and good freshness, structured but elegant. The finish is long, fruity and spiced, with a slight mineral note. It is best served between 16 and 18°C, with red meats, duck, dishes in sauce or mature cheeses.
