Introduction:
The 2020 Château de Haute-Serre Lucter is a bold and expressive Malbec from Cahors, the historic birthplace of the varietal. This wine balances power and elegance, showcasing the deep color, rich fruit, and structured tannins that define the best wines of the region.

Terrior:
Located in Cahors, southwest France, the vineyards sit on clay-limestone and iron-rich soils at high elevations. The combination of warm days and cool nights allows for slow, even ripening, enhancing both concentration and freshness in the wine.

Tasting notes:
Aged for 12 months in seasoned oak barrels, the 2020  Château de Haute-Serre Lucter has intense aromas of black plums, blackberries, and cassis that follow on the medium-to-full-bodied palate. The ripe fruit flavors are entwined with notes of violets, licorice, wet stone, and baking spice. The finish is infused with balancing acidity, along with the merrest hints of smoky oak and cocoa. 

Overall Impression:
A refined yet powerful expression of Malbec, showcasing Cahors' signature depth and structure. The 2020 "Lucter" is a wine that can be enjoyed now with decanting or cellared for further evolution. Perfect with grilled meats, duck confit, or aged cheeses.
