Owned by the Baldès family since 1830, Clos Triguedina is one of the most beautiful estates in Cahors and one of the founders of the appellation. Its name "me trigo de dina" which means "I can't wait to dine" in Occitan was a very popular passage for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela who liked to eat there.
The estate extends over 65 hectares south of Cahors, next to Puy l'Evêque, on the slopes of the Lot, on clay-limestone soils, similar to those of Pomerol. A terroir made for very great wines.
Jean-Luc Baldès is a very creative winemaker, whose recognized talent works in the elaboration of great red wines from the Malbec grape variety: New Black Wine, Probus, Clos Triguedina and the parcel cuvées are all exceptional wines, acclaimed in August 2014 by the Revue du Vin de France which makes Clos Triguedina the first estate of Cahors.
