Clos d'Audhuy Cahors La-O 2022

$2499

La-O is the more polished, more ambitious end of Benoît Aymard's range at Clos d'Audhuy. 100% Malbec from his organically and biodynamically farmed parcels around Lacapelle-Cabanac, west of the town of Cahors. Where his entry bottling goes for early-drinking exuberance, La-O is built to last: more depth, more structure, more of the dark-fruited intensity Cahors is known for, but framed by Aymard's signature freshness and lift. There's spice, there's chocolate, there's a graphite minerality that keeps the wine moving. A modern Cahors that bridges the old and the new schools.

Wine Enthusiast

"Black-fruit aromas and a touch of mushroom come from this wine. Vines planted and harvested by hand on land belonging to the producer's mother have produced balanced black fruits and ripe acidity. It is a rich wine, still developing. Drink from 2027. Organic." —Roger Voss
