A Little Attention for Cahors and Château Armandiére

April 10, 2017

Château Armandière 2014 Malbec Cahors

87 POINTS

This third generation vineyard has produced a classic Cahors, with firm tannins that bring out the black fruits. It is richly structured while keeping fruitiness right to the fore. A wine for rich foods, it will be good to drink from 2018.-Roger Voss, "Wine Enthusiast", 5/1/17

 

Château Armandière 2014 Malbec "Ancestrale" Cahors

88 POINTS

From the Bouyssou family estate, this structured wine is perfumed, ripe with black fruits and firmly based on serious tannins. It has weight and richness with spice and concentration. At the end, the acidity is crisp and juicy. Drink from 2019.-Roger Voss, "Wine Enthusiast", 5/1/17

 

Château Armandière 2012 Diamant Rouge Malbec (Cahors)

90POINTS​​​​​​​

This is the top wine from this estate. Wood aged and richly endowed with both fruit and firm tannins, it has a fine balance. The 12 months in wood have softened the wine's structure and given it extra richness. It is still full of youthful fruit, so drink from 2018.-Roger Voss, "Wine Enthusiast", 5/1/17
