  • This powerful Cahors shows intense dark fruits, plums, and blackberries layered with nuances of leather, which follow through to a richly textured palate. Hints of vanilla and focussed mineral notes envelop complex and structured elderberry and blackberry. It is beautifully balanced with a long, persistent finish.

The fruit was selected from individual plots, and each microplot was vinified separately. A cold pre-fermentation maceration took place before fermentation using natural yeasts. A manual 'pigeage' or punching down of the cap extracted the colour and flavours, followed by a long maceration under controlled temperatures. Vinified without adding sulphur, only minimal sulphur was added at bottling. The wine was aged in oak foudres on its fine lees for 24 months.

Winery

The ever-innovative Emmanuel Rybinski is one of Cahor's up-and-coming young stars. The 14-hectare vineyard is located atop an iron-rich plateau on the southern border of the Cahors appellation and produces predominantly Malbec, with 10% of the vines dedicated to Merlot. Since its inception in 1987, respect for the land has been a priority for this family estate, and they are passionately committed to sustainable farming practices. In 2014, Clos Troteligotte was certified in organic agriculture and 2015 saw the beginnings of biodynamic viticulture. Passionate and dynamic, they produce outstanding, stylishly packaged Cahors wines from their unique terroir. Pronounced with a French K "ka", their flagship wine, K-Or, is a play on words for Cahors. 

The vineyard is cultivated organically, respecting the environment and enabling the maximum expression of terroir. The 25-year-old vines are trained according to the simple Guyot method, with de-budding and a green harvest throughout the year to attain a yield of 35 hectolitres per hectare. The soil is calcareous clay-siderolithic, a red clay soil composed of limestone rich in iron, a rarity in Cahors. This unique terroir imparts minerality and complexity to these outstanding wines.
