Chateau Haut Monplaisir AOP Cahors Tradition

Château Haut‑Monplaisir Cahors Tradition 2022 opens with vibrant, dark‑fruited aromas of black plum, blackberry, and cassis, lifted by violet, graphite, and a touch of fresh earth that reflects the clay‑limestone terraces of the estate. The palate is medium‑to‑full‑bodied, juicy, and beautifully balanced, offering ripe black‑fruit generosity framed by lively acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins typical of Malbec from Cahors. Notes of black pepper, cocoa, dried herbs, and a subtle mineral edge build across the mid‑palate, adding savory depth without overwhelming the wine’s clean, fruit‑driven core. The finish is long, fresh, and quietly structured, showcasing a modern Cahors that marries regional authenticity with polished drinkability.
