About Domaine MATAYAC

Domaine Matayac is a family estate rooted in the Cahors winemaking tradition for several generations. Located on the Lot terraces, it benefits from an exceptional terroir that gives its wines a unique identity. The family, passionate about Malbec, strives to produce wines that reflect the typicality of the appellation while respecting natural balances.

The estate practices sustainable agriculture with particular attention to biodiversity and environmental respect.

Terroir and Climate:

Planted on clay-limestone soils, the vineyard benefits from an ideal exposure that allows for optimal grape ripening. The region's climate, with warm summers and cool nights, promotes the concentration of aromas and the preservation of acidity, resulting in balanced and deep wines.

Vinification and Aging:

The vinification process is meticulously monitored by the estate team. Grapes are carefully sorted before being destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, allowing for perfect temperature control. Maceration for several weeks is carried out to extract maximum color, tannins, and aromas.

Aging takes place in oak barrels, with a mix of new barrels and second-use barrels. This barrel aging adds subtle woody notes and a silkier texture while preserving the fruit and freshness of the Malbec.

Tasting Notes

This Cahors offers a deep color with purple hues. Its very expressive nose of black fruits hints at barrel aging through a subtle woody touch. On the palate, silky tannins join the aromatic persistence in a fiery and intense ensemble.

Perfect for powerful dishes such as grilled or sauced red meats, game, charcuterie, and strong cheeses.
