Case Deal: Chateau du Cedre, 'Marcel' Malbec

This bright and vibrant Malbec delivers punchy fruit flavours of red cherries, raspberries, and prunes. The palate is round yet fresh, with a lively balance of fruit, soft tannins, and a clean, satisfying finish. Unlike the heavier, oak-driven Malbecs of Argentina, this French Malbec is lighter and fresher, making it an easy choice for any occasion. It’s elegant, juicy, and just as good slightly chilled.

The Verhaeghe brothers of Château du Cèdre have long been regarded as Malbec masters in Cahors. Their biodynamic vineyards are meticulously farmed by hand, ensuring the highest quality fruit with minimal intervention in the winery. With no oak influence, this wine showcases the pure, terroir-driven character of South-West France, highlighting the natural charm and finesse of Cahors Malbec. A brilliant alternative to heavier reds, this is Malbec with freshness, elegance, and a true sense of place.
