Tasting Note

Deep purple, with touches of fuchsia on the rim. An intense malbec displaying aromas of red cherry, blueberry, rose petal, ripe Italian plum, black liquorice and spice box. The palate is concentrated and bright, cascading with focused flavours of black cherry, red plum, milk chocolate, talc and hints of butterscotch and star anise, supported by fine-grained tannins.

About the Winery

Crocus

Crocus is a distinguished winery located in the Cahors appellation of southwest France, a region renowned as the historic home of Malbec. The estate is a collaboration between two visionaries: Paul Hobbs, the celebrated American winemaker known for his work in Napa Valley and Argentina, and Bertrand Gabriel Vigouroux, a fourth-generation French vigneron whose family has been producing wine in Cahors since the 1880s. Their partnership, founded in 2011, was born from a shared ambition to showcase the true potential of Malbec in its original French terroir.
