Chateau de la Coustarelle Cahors 'Cuvee Prestige', 2015
This Grand Cuvee Prestige sees a 20-day fermentation period, after which aging takes place in oak barrels, a fifth of which is new each year. The 3,000 case production is bottled unfiltered. This blend of 90% Malbec and 10% Tannat shows a deep purple color. Lots of vanilla on the nose buttresses substantial dark fruit. Medium to full-body. Plenty of ripe blackberry fruit on the palate, along with a hint of licorice. Fine tannin is extremely well-integrated on the finish.
Chateau de la Coustarelle
Château la Coustarelle is owned by Michel and Nadine Cassot. The domaine is located in the village of Prayssac, next to the renowned Clos de Gamot.
