205.00 € Tax included

The Probus cuvée is a great red wine from Cahors from Clos Triguedina, offered here in the 1980 vintage.

While the vintage was quite average in most regions of France, this Cahors 1980 is a beautiful wine with powerful aromas of ripe black fruits, with fine notes of truffle and liquorice, and on the palate, we find a rich and balanced substance with a long finish

In the year 96 A.D., Emperor Domitian had the vines uprooted in favor of the cultivation of wheat. Thanks to another Emperor, Probus, in the year 280, the vine was replanted in Quercy and this is what this Probus cuvée reminds us.

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.
