90% Malbec with 5% each of Tannat and Merlot which spent 18 months in big oak cask (57hl) and barrels (500l), from 25-30 year-old vines. Epitomizes all the efforts made by the Verhaeghe brothers and their quasi-Burgundian approach of infusion, rather than heavy extraction.
Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe form one of the most passionate, hard-working and skilled team of winegrowers we have ever come across. The work of Jean-Marc consists of growing, biodynamicaly close-to-perfect grapes in the vineyards, while Pascal meticulously transforms these grapes into arguably, the greatest Malbec wines to be found anywhere.
Château du Cèdre, formerly known as ‘le Prestige’, epitomizes all the efforts made by the Verhaeghe brothers. 90% Malbec with a touch of Tannat and Merlot which spent 24 months in 2 to 3 year old barrels (a mix of 225l and 500l).
