The estate takes its name from Eugénie, the great-great-grandmother of today's owners, and remains a rarity in French wine: a winery run entirely by family members, now five and a half centuries into an unbroken tradition. The vineyards sit in the heart of Cahors, spread across the terraces of the Lot valley, mid-slope plantings, and the limestone plateaus of the Causse, with soils of gravel, clay, silica, and iron that give the estate's wines their distinctive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cuvée, \"Réserve de l'Aïeul,\" is one of the estate's flagship bottlings, blending 90% Malbec with 10% Tannat. Malbec is the signature grape of Cahors, prized internationally for the deep color, dark fruit, and firm structure it develops here, while the small addition of Tannat reinforces the wine's backbone and tannic grip. Expect a deeply colored, structured red with black fruit, spice, and a firm, age-worthy frame, built for cellaring as much as immediate drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is one of Château Eugénie's more serious, structured bottlings, a showcase of Malbec's power from the grape's ancestral home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Wine Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42633744187474,"sku":"53-23-2021","price":39.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/davidswinecellar.com\/products\/red-malbec-tannat-southwest","provider":"David's Wine Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
