2020 Clos Siguier Cahors

Dark plum, blackberry, and sour cherry open into notes of leather, damp earth, and dried thyme. Medium-bodied and rustic, it balances dense dark fruit with firm, grippy tannins and a tart, savory finish.

Organically farmed grapes undergo native yeast fermentation in concrete tanks. Maturation for two years in concrete vats and large oak casks softens the wild tannins without masking the raw, earthy profile.

Wind-swept clay and limestone plateaus overlook the Lot River valley in southwest France. High elevations and thin, iron-rich soils starve the vines, yielding concentrated fruit grounded by deep stony rusticity.
