Rigal Château Bovila Cahors Malbec 2014 (France)

Description

Brilliant ruby colour in the glass. The nose is fine and powerfull with aromas of dried currants, leading to stewed notes of candied fruit. The palate presents lovely soft tannins, evloving into lively cherry and red currant fruit flavours.

From its historical heartland, the Lot valley, cradle of the Malbec grape variety, Rigal has become the leading family-run producer in all of South-West of France, synonymous with everything that’s best about the region’s wine.

Rigal’s story started at the heart of the Cahors vineyards.  As early as 1755 the family created its first vineyard in a land where vines have been cultivated for two thousand years. Since 1941 the company has developed a trade not only of Cahors wines but also of Bergerac, Gaillac, Fronton, Madiran and Gascony wines. Playing a truly pioneering role, the Rigal family has promoted the quality and diversity of the wines of the South-West region under the same name. Distributed in over 50 countries, the Rigal brand offers delicious examples of both Cahors  and ‘vins de pays’ with special reference to the Malbec, Colombard and Gros Manseng, the traditional grape varieties of South-West of France.
