Chateau du Cedre Description
The all-new Juvéniles is crafted from organic grapes grown on the sandy-clay soils of the Lot Valley’s second terraces. Following a brief one-week maceration, the wine is aged in concrete tanks for eighteen months.
A true expression of the Lot’s second terraces, Juvéniles is a light-bodied Malbec that reveals itself effortlessly, showcasing radiant fruit preserved by concrete aging. Notes of juicy cherry and violet highlight Malbec’s aromatic intensity, offering a profile of vibrant red fruit and floral nuances touched with spice. The bouquet lingers before the wine unfolds on the palate with a fleshy, succulent texture, lifted by fine acidity that keeps flavors of red plum, raspberry, and cherry at the forefront from start to finish. With its integrated tannins, Juvéniles delights the senses with a smooth texture, the result of controlled extraction and thorough aging. The finish is lively and flavorful, leaving you wanting a second glass.
