"Florals of violets, lavender and soft herbs. The palate displays blue fruits and a beautiful structure. Fine fluid tannins supported by minerality. Velvety. Moving to darker fruits, a wave of freshness and laser length. A joyous wine to see out winter." - Liz, Vivant
There are two distinct terroirs and styles of the Cahors appellation: the alluvial valley of the Lot river, and the limestone plateau. Located in Trespoux-Rassiels, on the limestone causses overlooking Cahors, the soils here are what make these wines truly remarkable, with all Maya and Nicolas’s 10 hectares of vineyards situated on the plateau. A mix of clay limestone, Kimmeridgian limestone and Siderolithic. Kimmeridgian limestone is most famous as the bedrock for Chablis and Sancerre, it brings minerality and acidity to the fruit. Siderolithic are iron rich clay soils bringing umami and texture.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
