Château Saint-Sernin Malbec de Calcaire – Cahors – Red – 2015:

 

The Château Saint-Sernin – Malbec de Calcaire is a benchmark for the Cahors appellation, the true birthplace of Malbec. Grown on rich limestone soils, this wine embodies both power and finesse. It’s a cellar-worthy selection built to impress the most discerning palate and stand up to any serious steakhouse fare.

Tasting Profile

Boasting a deep garnet hue, this Malbec reveals a complex and intense aromatic profile.

• Nose: Dominated by black fruits (cassis, blackberry), violet, licorice touches, and a distinctive chalky minerality.
• Palate: The entry is bold and structured, offering a noble and silky tannic backbone. The balance is impeccable-a perfect marriage of fruit concentration and freshness-leading to a very long finish where the limestone terroir shines.

Pairing & Service

To fully enjoy its complexity, we recommend decanting for one hour. Serve at 60-64°F.

• Classic Pairings: Grilled Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri, Smoked Brisket, Venison Chili.
• Sommelier Tip: This wine cuts beautifully through rich, fatty meats and stands up well to bold spices. A perfect ‘BBQ’ wine for the sophisticated consumer.
