Les Camilles 2019

$24.95 Sale Save

A remarkable expression of Malbec (Côt) from 80-year-old vines planted in the well-drained red clay and limestone terraces of Cahors. Crafted by Gilles Bley, this wine defies the region's typical heavy style, offering a brighter, fruit-driven profile with silky tannins and deep complexity. Aged for two years in 600-liter wooden tanks, it’s a smooth, elegant wine that can be enjoyed now or aged further.
Fun Fact: Gilles Bley’s family has been growing grapes in Cahors for generations, and his estate showcases a lighter, more delicate side of the region’s traditionally bold and brooding wines.

Rich dark fruit flavors like blackberry and plum, a subtle violet floral aroma, and hints of spice with black pepper and earthy undertones, creating a bold and balanced profile.

The Producer

About Clos Siguier

Meet Baptiste Bley, the heart and soul behind Clos Siguier, whose family’s deep-rooted connection to winemaking spans generations. Following the devastation of Phylloxera, Baptiste’s ancestors turned to livestock farming, with only a small place for wine production. But by the end of World War I, his great-grandfather, Edmond, revived the vineyards, selling wine in barrels to merchants in Toulouse and Bordeaux. The tradition continued through the 20th century, with Simon and Nicole Bley focusing on bottled wines and creating the brand "Le Clos Siguier." This name is inspired by a plot rich in iron, affectionately known as the "clos d’acier."
