Château Lagrézette, Chevalier 2019

Château Lagrézette, nestled near Cahors in southwest France, is renowned for its dedication to Malbec, known locally as Cot. With origins tracing back to the 15th century, the estate was revitalised in the 20th century, combining historic charm with cutting-edge winemaking. Today, it produces wines of depth, elegance, and longevity, showcasing the unique terroir of Cahors while balancing traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. Chevalier 2019 is a vivid expression of Malbec, brimming with ripe black fruits, violets, and a subtle graphite edge. The palate is plush yet finely structured, with layers of plum, blackberry, and spice lifted by refreshing acidity. Silky tannins lend elegance, while gentle oak adds whispers of cedar and vanilla. Focused and expressive, it captures Cahors’ modern face, delivering richness without heaviness and finishing with clarity, poise, and a lingering mineral freshness.
