For World Malbec day – 17th April 2021 – Our Wine Director David Allen, Master of Wine, returns to the variety’s origins in the region of Aquitaine in Southwest France – he tastes a wine from one of the leading estates in Cahors, Chateau du Cedre 2016.
Château du Cèdre is a family-run estate situated in Cahors in the southwest of France. The château takes its name from the 100 year old cedar tree that stands in the courtyard outside the cellars. Since 1988, Château du Cèdre has specialized in the production of Malbec-based wines.
The estate comprises 27 hectares (67 acres) of vineyards mainly planted to the red grape varieties synonymous with Cahors: Malbec, Merlot and Tannat.
