Héritage 1152 – Cahors 2022

Cahors AOP
100 ml tasting experience

Gérard Bertrand reveals the history of the great terroirs of southern France, particularly the South West, through the iconic Cahors appellation. The year 1152 marks a historic union between France and England: Henry Plantagenet, the future king of England, opens the doors of London to the wider world. This cuvée pays tribute to that heritage and to the elegance of Malbec, which finds intense, authentic expression here.
