Clos de Gamot 'Cuvee des Vignes Centenaires' Cahors 2010

A powerful and deeply traditional red wine from Cahors, this cuvée is made entirely from old-vine Malbec grown in historic parcels planted on clay-limestone soils. The 2010 vintage reflects both the concentration of low-yielding century-old vines and the classic structure that defines the region’s most serious wines.

Aged in large oak casks for an extended period, it is built in a restrained, old-school style that emphasizes texture, depth, and longevity over immediate fruitiness. The wine carries the imprint of its heritage vineyard, with a focus on purity, density, and earthy complexity.

On the palate, it shows dark berry fruit, plum, and violet notes, layered with tobacco, graphite, and subtle smoky undertones. Firm yet refined tannins give it structure, while time in bottle brings added nuance of leather, spice, and forest floor. The finish is long, slightly savoury, and mineral-driven, underscoring its age-worthy, classical Cahors character.
