Tasting Note

Deep purple, with touches of fuchsia on the rim. An intense malbec displaying aromas of red cherry, blueberry, rose petal, ripe Italian plum, black liquorice and spice box. The palate is concentrated and bright, cascading with focused flavours of black cherry, red plum, milk chocolate, talc and hints of butterscotch and star anise, supported by fine-grained tannins.

Product Notes

Crocus Le Calcifère Malbec is a top-tier French wine, exhibiting rich and elegant characteristics. Its deep purple hue is home to an enticing aroma of red fruits, blackberries, and delicate notes of violets. On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers a luxurious blend of dark chocolate, woody undertones and hints of liquorice, making it a robust and flavourful experience. Matured in French oak barrels, it has a rounded tannin structure that adds to its long, velvety finish. The Crocus Le Calcifère Malbec wine is the epitome of refined Malbec varietal expressions. Truly, an exquisite choice for any wine lover.

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.
