Chateau Pineraie L'Authentique 2020 AOP Cahors is an intense and full-bodied red wine that embodies the character of the Cahors region. Made from Malbec, complemented by a small amount of Tannat, this wine has a deep ruby-red colour and powerful aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, with subtle hints of pepper and tobacco. The palate is complex and concentrated, with firm tannins and a light spiciness that underline the structure and depth of the wine. The finish is long and offers a fine balance between fruity notes and an earthy minerality. The limestone and clay soils of Cahors, together with the temperate climate, give the Malbec grape a unique intensity and depth here. This 2016 vintage has had several years to mature, which has softened the tannins and given the wine a pleasant roundness, while retaining its power and elegance.
Perfect with grilled meat, duck breast and strong cheeses.
