The estate belongs to the Vigouroux family, who have been among the driving forces behind the Cahors renaissance for decades and have brought international acclaim to the appellation. The Icône represents the pinnacle of their range – a selection from the very best parcels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, what distinguishes Cahors Malbec from its Argentinian counterpart becomes apparent: darker fruit, more structure. Blackberry and black plum, along with notes of graphite and dried herbs. The tannins are firm but not harsh – they support the wine and promise aging potential. The finish is long, with a mineral note reminiscent of the plateau's limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Best served at \u003cstrong\u003e16–18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e , ideally decanted an hour beforehand.
