Viniou Reviews
The 1998 "Cuvée Le Cèdre" from Château R is an exquisite representation of the Cahors appellation in the Sud-Ouest region, nestled in the foothills of the Massif Central. This wine primarily comprises Malbec, a grape renowned for its deep colour and robust structure. The 1998 vintage offers a well-balanced expression, benefiting from the unique terroir: rich clay-limestone soils and a continental climate with oceanic influences. Traditional vinification techniques accentuate its complexity. Château R is celebrated for its dedication to quality and has a storied history, enhancing the prestige of their wines.
For food pairings, this Cahors red shines alongside hearty dishes. Try pairing it with a classic cassoulet, which complements the wine's depth and rich tannins. Additionally, a duck confit or a beef stew with mushrooms would harmonise well. Consider regional delights like a Roquefort cheese tart, which will enrich the tasting experience with its creamy texture.
For optimal enjoyment, serve "Cuvée Le Cèdre" at around 18°C (64°F). Decanting for about an hour will allow the wine to breathe and unveil its aromatic nuances. Begin by observing its deep garnet hue, then swirl to release its bouquet of dark fruits, leather, and spice. On the palate, expect a balanced acidity, silky tannins, and a lingering finish. This wine promises a memorable tasting journey, reflecting its origin's rich traditions and terroir.
