Château de Mercuès
Château de Mercuès produces Malbec-based wines from Cahors, in South West France's Haut-Pays region. The estate's flagship, Le Vassal de Mercuès, is a pure Malbec that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. The Cuvée Icone de Mercues, also Malbec-focused, rounds out the portfolio alongside Malbec de Cahors, a blend that introduces Merlot into the mix. Cahors has long been defined by Malbec's dark structure and mineral spine—a grape that thrives in the region's terroir and expresses both power and refinement when properly handled. The winery's releases reflect this character, with wines built for aging and complexity rather than immediate consumption.
