Clos Triguedina, Cahors –
Malbec in seven generations

In the early 1980s, after studying and apprenticeships in Bordeaux and Burgundy , Jean-Luc Baldès returned to the family winery Clos Triguedina in Cahors, southwestern France – thus taking over a tradition that has already been passed down for seven generations. The winery lies in the heart of the Lot Valley, where the Malbec grape grows in its historical homeland: on limestone and clay soils that give the wines a dense structure and pronounced depth.

His approach is clearly twofold: On the one hand, there are powerful, age-worthy cuvées with dark color, ripe tannins, and the potential for many years in the cellar. On the other hand, Baldès vinifies young, juicy Malbecs with vibrant fruit that reveal themselves immediately at the table – paired with entrecôte, cassoulet, or grilled vegetables.

What unites both styles is respect for their origins: Cahors was the center of Malbec cultivation long before Argentina, and Baldès carries on this tradition with every vintage. Those wishing to discover this grape variety beyond the South American mainstream will find its European origins here.
