Mary Taylor 2017 Cahors, Sud-Ouest, France

Cahors once covered 48,000 hectares of vines, but after phylloxera shrank to 4,000 hectares. Nowadays there is less wine made in Cahors, but generally the quality is much higher.  Winemaker Didier Pelvillain farms at the highest level of sustainability and biodynamic conversion is in process.  Only indigenous yeasts are used.

• Terroir: Clay and limestone, 32 year old vines
• Vinification: Stainless steel, indigenous yeats
  
• Tasting notes: Floral, savory, peppery wine of refinement – clean and fresh – dark plum fruit with more mineral qualities than barnyard.
