2022 Chateau Pineraie A&E Cahors



French Malbec!
2022 Chateau Pineraie A&E Cahors....$16.99
85% Malbec - 15% Merlot
The Heart of Malbec
Crafted by sisters Anne and Emmanuelle, this elegant Cahors red is a modern tribute to the birthplace of Malbec. The 2022 A&E blend—85% Malbec, 15% Merlot—delivers a powerful yet polished experience, with deep aromas of violet, ripe blackberry, blueberry, and cassis, all wrapped in notes of toasted spice and pepper. Fermented separately and then masterfully blended, the wine shows a lush roundness on the palate, firm yet approachable tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. Dark purple in color and rich in character, this is a versatile pairing partner for cassoulet, duck confit, grilled lamb chops, game meats, or even salmon and roasted poultry with bold sauces. At under $20, it’s an exceptional value and a shining example of what the finest grapes from Southwest France can deliver.
