Wine No 3 from Geosynchronous Collection

Château Les Croisille

Calcaire 2021

AOP Cahors

This is a Malbec from Cahors - the region where the better known Argentinian Malbecs originally came from. Farmed organically on 35 year-old vines, planted on limestone (causses). Fermented with natural yeasts, grapes are de-stemmed and macerated for 20 days, then aged 18 months in oak cask and filtered. SO2 < 10 mg/l. Aging potential in the bottle: 10 years. The fruit and the great balance of this wine allow pairings with charcuterie, meats (beef and lamb in particular), cheese (sheep) and nuts such as walnuts. It is a near perfect match with duck which is a classic in the Cahors region.

Germain Croisille

The Croisille family adventure begins in 1979 when Cecile and Bernard rented a property to retire to the land of the Causses of Luzech. They cleared and restored life to these lands that became gradually plots where Malbec is king. Their son Germain joined them in 2008, followed by Nicolas, his childhood friend, in 2010 and finally Simon, the last of the family who joined the team in 2015. Today the estate has 30 hectares of vineyards and the younger generation, passionate about wine, brings a new vision to viticulture and new ambitions for the estate's wines. Now farming organically, understanding the impact and richness that the wide diversity of calcareous soils have on the purity of the wine.
