it is not only Malbec that is found in Clos d'Audhuy's vineyards; nestled among his vines is a small plot of Ségalin, an obscure grape created by crossing Jurançon Noir and Blauer Portugieser, which usually produces dark, rustic, full-bodied wine. Clos d'Audhuy's Queue de Pressoir is 70% Ségalin and 30% Malbec, though Benoit decided to pick the grapes early and vinify the wine almost like a rosé, producing a light, juicy and quaffable red with light color, berry fruit flavors and easy structure. Enjoy with assorted cured meats. Clos d'Audhuy is located in the west part of Cahors, in the village of Lacapelle-Cabanac. The 6 hectare estate is run by thrid generation proprietor Benoit Aymard. Benoit only uses organic practices in the vineyard and has now started the process to get the certification.
