Le Combal 2019 Cahors, Cosse-Maisonneuve
From a majority of Malbec (+90%), this superb Cahors offers great value! Charming typical nose that displays black berries enhanced by graphite, animal and earthy scents. Good extract and structure, well balanced, velvety tannins, with some potential. The fan of Malbec and Cahors will be satisfied. Already quite pleasant, it should age well for a couple of years (2 to 4 yrs). Barbecued sausages should match perfectly. Enjoy!

Because of global warming, Pinots from Alsace offer much more depth and character ! Deeply coloured (for Pinot), the nose exhibits scents of field berries and sweet spices enhanced by discreet floral hints.

A great match with grilled veal or poultry. Enjoy!
