About The Producer
In the 3rd century, Probus was a Roman emperor who allowed
winegrowers to plant vineyards once more in Quercy. As a
tribute, Jean Baldès created the first 100% Malbec in 1976.
This prestigious pure Malbec cuvée is the finest expression of
Cahors wines and a reference for the Malbec grape. Rich,
dense yet elegant, Probus is a landmark in the region.
Terroir & Vineyard Practices:
3rd Terrace; clayey-siliceous and clayey-calcareous soil
with iron ore on gentle slopes.
