Tasting Note

Displaying a vibrant garnet hue, this malbec opens with an expressive nose brimming with fresh black and red fruit aromas—gooseberry, strawberry, and blackcurrant. The palate is lively and juicy, showcasing bright elderberry and mulberry flavors, balanced by smooth tannins and a subtle touch of white pepper on the finish.

Product Notes

Crocus L'Atelier Malbec is a sumptuous, full-bodied wine potently drawn from the lush Malbec vines of Cahors, France. This exquisite wine boats robust flavours starting with a dark fruit burst, intermixed with seductive notes of raspberry and blackberry, accentuated by a touch of spicy black pepper and velvety chocolate. Its polished tannins and prolonged, smooth finish confirm its lineage from the old, mineral-rich vineyards. An expressive bouquet of violet, liquorice and truffle completes its elegant character. Crocus L'Atelier Malbec pairs perfectly with red meats and mature cheeses, an absolute delight for every connoisseur.

About the Winery

Crocus

The origins of Crocus Winery are deeply rooted in the ancient terroirs of Cahors, a quaint town located in the South-West of France. This bespoke winery was established in 2010 through an unexpected partnership between Paul Hobbs, an esteemed international wine consultant, and Bertrand Vigouroux, whose family had cultivated wines in the region for four generations.

The synergy between Hobbs' modern viticulture knowledge and Vigouroux's deep familiarity with native Malbec grapes, resulted in the creation of viticultural masterpieces. Crocus wines reflect a generous blend of tradition and innovation, which earned them a distinct name among top-quality Cahors wines.

The vineyard encompasses a variety of terrains over a sprawling 60 hectares, covering several altitude levels. Each parcel of land is carefully chosen to optimise the expression of Malbec grapes, following a flexible biodynamic approach that respects nature's rhythm’s.

The owners' dedication to crafting distinguished, complex and elegant wines has led Crocus to produce three distinct labels; Crocus 'L'Atelier', Crocus 'La Roque' and Crocus 'Prestige', each with its exceptional personality. The wines are a true testament to the mastery of Crocus Winery, a place where old-world tradition meets cutting-edge wine making techniques.
