Combel La Serre 2020 Cahors "Cuvee Chateau"

 Combel's Château Cuvée comes from estate plots totalling 3 hectares around their home village of Cournou on the limestone plateau known as the Causse at about 320m altitude. The soils for this bottling are mainly red clay over limestone. The organically farmed vines average 40 years old and are kept to a yield of 40 hl/ha.  Because of the clay-heavy terroir and winemaking and aging choices, the 2020 Château Cuvée marks a signficant step up in body, tannin and complexity compared to the lighter, softer Pur Fruit bottling. This is a beautiful Cahors showing elegant, earthy red and black fruit aromas - the palate is dense, sapid and pure, very focused with good acidity and bright black raspberry and red currant fruit, mineral, floral and long. Delicious now, this will develop nicely over the next five years or more
