Despite winning a number of awards this year, achieving the “Coup de Cœur” in one of the best known guides, the Hachette Guide to French Wines, is without doubt one of the highlights of 2008 for us. Other prizes this year include the Gold Medal at the Paris Agricultural Exhibition for our Grézette white.
This time, it is the most prestigious of our vintages, “Le Pigeonnier”, which has been tipped by tasters for its 2005 vintage:
“A top-of-the-range production from a 16th century chateau, classified as a historical monument and renowned for its wonderful dovecote. Having been rated ‘Coup de Cœur’ in the 2004 edition, this year the wine once again receives the unanimous recognition of the grand jury for its 100% Malbec Cahors. Deep berry in colour - its nose is surprisingly fruity, despite its two year maturing process. On the palate, you can feel a rare presence, elegance and smoothness, it is a very supple and assertive wine. Another great success for Alain Dominique Perrin to accompany his 2005 Dame Honneur vintage from Château Lagrézette (€30 to €38), which gained two stars for its balance and silky structure.”
These bottles are in our cellars and will be available… in a year.
