The designation 6666 refers to the estate\u0026#39;s founding history and today represents the house\u0026#39;s ambitious line: Malbec, which embodies the characteristic minerality of the Causses soils without being masked by oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the wine displays a deep purple color. The nose offers blackberry, black plum, and a hint of violet, underpinned by graphite and a subtle touch of clove. On the palate, dense yet silky tannins—unusually approachable for a Cahors Malbec, without sacrificing any seriousness. The finish is long, with a subtle spiciness and lingering dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ready to drink now, with potential until 2030. \u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature 16–18 °C.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs well with braised lamb, entrecôte with herb butter, or a robust Tomme from southwest France.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Mercuès","offers":[{"title":"2018","offer_id":53232198713680,"sku":"VJ2181-2018","price":33.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/276458-transparent_039bca1f-3e00-432e-8226-f794c4ab0926.webp?v=1783441992","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/chateau-de-mercues-6666-aop-cahors-0-75l","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
