Cahors Lamartine

Deep red wine with a powerful, youthful aroma of oak and fruit. The taste is powerful and aromatic. The aftertaste is fragrant and long, with spicy but blended tannins.

Vin Rouge Alain Gayraud

Alain Gayraud from the Château Lamartine is a specialist in making accessible style cahors. His vineyard is located in the western part of the region with more moderate Atlantic influences. As a result, the grapes ripen more evenly than in the cooler central and eastern parts of the area.

He is also an ardent supporter of 'micro-bullage', a revolutionary method devised by his good friend and innovative winemaker Patrick Ducourneau.

Adding small amounts of oxygen during the ripening process softens the tannin and relaxes the usually very strong flavor. The accessible style appeals and Lamartine receives many great press reviews.
