The Bernede family farm 60 hectares on the gentle slopes rising from the Lot river, rich in siliceous, clay and limestone soils. Philippe has tinkered with the blend over the years to achieve a fine equilibrium, and today the blend consists of 80% Malbec and 20% Merlot, creating an intense wine combining local rusticity with everyday drinking. Coutale ages well.

Clos la Coutale Cahors 2023
13% abv
Vol- 75cl
From well-sited vines in the Lot Valley, this is always a sound benchmark wine for Cahors in south-west France. The blend is 80% malbec with 20% merlot which creates the right balance. A wine that has structure yet roundness too, with ripe gentle brambly fruit and good length.
