Two grape varieties :
The malbec.
Little used outside of the Lot valley, the malbec confers its typicity: a
dark robe decorated with purple nuances, evolving then with the passing
of the years towards a garnet red typical of cahors wines. The palate
is dense with powerful tannins enabling excellent ageing capacity.
The aromas of the malbec : black fruits with heady violet
overtones subtly evoking a note of liquorice before
evolving towards autumnal flavours
The merlot
Grape
variety king of the Saint-émilion and the Pomerol,
it also flounshes in the Lot valley where it produces wines rich in
fruit, fleshy and opulent.
At château Lacapelle
Cabanac where it represents 14% of the grape varieties, we
use it to enrich the aromatic palette of our wines and to procure
mellowness
