Fabien Jouves, Haute Côte de Fruit, Cahors, France 2014
Rating: 17.5/20pts
Cahors is seeing a revival, partly thanks to Argentina for putting Malbec (locally known as Côt) on the map, but also to a new generation of producers who prefer a softer, juicier style to the traditional black tannic wine. This, from young vines, is fruity and deliciously refreshing, full of black fruit and spice.
