Thanks to his groundbreaking work for the Argentinian top estate Vina Cobos, the long-forgotten grape variety is on everyone's lips again. Just the right man to make Malbec sexy again in France. At least that's what Bertrand Vigouroux thought, whose family in Cahors, southern France, has been cultivating the legacy of the noble vine for over 150 years. It didn't take long for Paul to convince Paul to go to the home of the Malbec to finish what he had started at the end of the world.

Crocus is the name of a very common flower around the Lot river that flows through Cahors. The coat of the Crocus Le Calcifère Malbec comes in a purple color that is well worth seeing.

The fine tannin structure is evident on the edge. Delicious, concentrated and powerful wine!
