House Rigal Cahors Les Terres Rouges

Maison Rigal Cahors Les Terres Reds 2015 - Original wooden case of 6 bottles

139.00 € Tax included

This Cahors Les Terres Rouges 2012 from Maison Rigal, made from 100% Malbec grapes, offers a dark, almost black colour and marked aromas of black fruit and undergrowth on the nose. On the palate, it is a well-balanced wine with fine and powerful tannins where we find the dominant aromas of undergrowth associated with toasted and spicy notes on the finish.

Maison Rigal has existed for nearly 3 centuries in Cahors and produces great Malbec wines, severalparcel cuvées that express the different facets of this great wine region of the Lot, wines to be found at La Bouteille Dorée.
