Chateau de Chambert
Château de Chambert is the largest organic and biodynamic estate in Cahors, having received certification in 2012 and 2015 respectively. The estate is home to 45 hectares of vineyards, of which 80% are Malbec, 17% are Merlot and 3% are Chardonnay, with an average vine of 50 years. They are located high up on the limestone ‘causse’, or plateau, regarded as the best part of the Cahors appellation, producing balanced Malbec’s of intensity and freshness. In the cellar, they work with large oak foudre so as not to overpower the terroir characteristics in their wines.
Description
An expressive nose, with hints of blackberry, raspberry, some spices and milky touches. It is round and enveloping in the mouth, with a dense and velvety material accompanied by an explosion of fruit and freshness. It has a long finish with pleasant and long-lasting chalky and spicy notes.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted duck breast, grilled lamb chops, cassoulet, beef bourguignon, or hard cheeses like aged Comté or Manchego. Its balance and freshness complement both rich meats and more refined fare.
