In 2013, winemaker Antonio Morescalchi (of Altos Las Hormigas in Argentina) visited Cahors, with world-renowned soil and vineyard mapping expert Pedro Parra, to learn more about the origins of Malbec. The appellation's soil diversity fascinated the duo, especially in the vineyards planted on Kimmeridgian limestone terraces known as ‘causses’. They selected two vineyards owned by a local family as the focus of Causse du Théron, their Cahors Malbec project.
The Causse du Théron wines offer different expression of Cahors Malbec, yet they share long, scented finishes and a unique ability to display bright Malbec fruit with a finesse unmarred by oak. Complex notes of blueberry and raspberry fruit, mouth-watering acidity and plump, round tannins.
