Tasting Notes
This wine presents a concentrated and dense structure, where black berries, kirsch, and subtle floral aromas dominate the nose, intertwined with a rich mineral complexity. On the palate, Clos Troteligotte K-or is smooth, spicy, and full of vibrant fruit purity, with a seamless balance between power and elegance. Its remarkable structure is built on the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional winemaking techniques, ensuring an unforgettable tasting experience.
Winemaking Process
Each micro-plot was vinified separately, ensuring that the unique characteristics of the terroir shine through in the final blend. The grapes were hand-harvested and underwent a cold pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine was gently punched down ("pigeage") during fermentation to extract maximum color and flavor from the skins, followed by a long maceration. The wine aged on its fine lees in unlined concrete vats, where minimal sulphur was used at bottling to preserve its natural purity.
Clos Troteligotte K-or is a fine example of biodynamic winemaking, producing a wine that is both expressive and sustainable, with a refined taste that highlights the natural qualities of the Malbec grape.

| Winery | The ever-innovative Emmanuel Rybinski is one of Cahor's up-and-coming young stars. The 14-hectare vineyard is located atop an iron-rich plateau on the southern border of the Cahors appellation and produces predominantly Malbec, with 10% of the vines dedicated to Merlot. Since its inception in 1987, respect for the land has been a priority for this family estate, and they are passionately committed to sustainable farming practices. In 2014, Clos Troteligotte was certified in organic agriculture, and 2015 saw the beginning of biodynamic viticulture. Passionate and dynamic, they produce outstanding, stylishly packaged Cahors wines from their unique terroir. Pronounced with a French K "ka", their flagship wine, K-Or, is a play on words for Cahors. Certified organic and biodynamic, the vineyard is cultivated organically, respecting the environment and enabling the maximum expression of terroir. The 25-year-old vines are trained according to the simple Guyot method, with de-budding and a green harvest taking place throughout the year to attain a yield of 40 hectolitres per hectare. The soil is calcareous-clay-siderolithic, a red clay soil composed of limestone rich in iron, a rarity in Cahors. This unique terroir imparts minerality and complexity to these outstanding wines. |
