Château de Chambert – Cahors “Le Causse” 2019
by Château de Chambert
A powerful yet beautifully refined Malbec from the limestone plateau (causse) of Cahors — showcasing depth, freshness, and the modern renaissance of this historic French appellation.
100% Malbec grown on high limestone soils above the Lot River
The causse terroir brings structure, minerality, and natural freshness
2019 was an outstanding warm yet balanced vintage, delivering concentration without heaviness
This is Cahors at its finest: dark-fruited, structured, and elegant.
Nose
Blackberry, black plum, violet, cocoa powder, crushed stone, subtle spice and cedar
Palate
Full-bodied and velvety — ripe dark fruit, dark chocolate, liquorice, mineral tension, and polished tannins
Finish
Long, fresh, and savoury with lingering fruit and chalky grip
Drinking beautifully now with a short decant and will continue to evolve for 12–18+ years, gaining earthy and truffle notes with age.
Excellent with:
Grilled ribeye or beef tenderloin
Slow-braised short ribs or beef cheeks
Lamb with rosemary
Duck breast or game
Aged hard cheeses
A superb wine for hearty cuisine and refined dining alike.
One of Cahors’ benchmark estates
Limestone-grown Malbec with elegance rather than brute force
Combines Old World structure with modern polish
Deep, mineral-driven, and beautifully balanced — Château de Chambert Le Causse 2019 delivers serious Malbec with finesse, freshness, and long ageing potential. A standout for collectors and premium wine lists.
