With Malbec fast becoming an internationally recognised grape variety, the wines of Cahors, the traditional home of Malbec, are beginning to reach a far wider audience. The entry level red is a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Tannat, while the Orphee is 100% Malbec and barrel aged for 18 months. Heavy, dark, rich wines and a quite stupendous dessert wines made by heating the grapes in a prune oven.

CHATEAU DE CHAMBERT Rogomme (50cl.)
100% Malbec
This style of wine has been produced on the Causse of Quercy for more than 300 years. It was known by the English rulers of the past as the 'black wine' and for very good reason.
It is almost ink black in colour with a thick, velvety, sticky concentration both in appearance and taste. The grapes have been heated in the pots that are used in the prune production, so there is a sweet prune like flavour to the wine. The malbec gives the wine a strong, spiced chocolate and quite tannic nature - but this all adds to the intrigue of the wine.
