Château Pineraie Poème 2021 Cahors is an expressive and refined wine that perfectly embodies the power and elegance of Malbec from Cahors. The wine shows a deep ruby-red colour with purple highlights, indicating its concentration and youthfulness. On the nose the wine opens with intense aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberry, black cherry and plum, complemented by refined notes of violet, cocoa and subtle spicy accents of pepper and vanilla from ageing in oak. On the palate the wine is powerful and full, with a silky texture and ripe tannins that give it a beautiful structure. The fruity notes are supported by complex layers of spice, roasted nuts and a light minerality. The balance between freshness, tannins and fruit intensity makes this wine particularly elegant and seductive. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering notes of black fruit, cocoa and a touch of oak.
Excellent with duck breast, lamb dishes and strong cheeses.
