Top wine from the south of France

This particularly beautiful Cahors Expression is the top wine of the Gayraud family. It is made entirely from the local Côt grape, also known as Malbec. The grapes come from the oldest vines in the domain, which give a particularly low yield.

After a long soaking - for maximum extraction of colorings and flavors - the wine matures for twenty months in new oak barrels. Six months of this, current winemaker Benjamin Gayraud (with father Alain still as advisor) applies the microbullage technique known from Madiran: carefully bubbling the maturing wine with oxygen to soften the tannins.

Château Lamartines Expression is a top wine from south-west France that loses out in fame and image to more expensive and chic Bordeaux competitors, but certainly not in quality. In short, this beautiful wine definitely deserves a place in your wine selection!
