WINES OF THE WEEK
Cahors, L’Héritage du Cèdre 2007, Château du Cèdre, 12.5%, €12.95-€13.50.
Château du Cèdre produces some of the great wines of south-west France. If you can afford it, I would certainly recommend the Le Prestige (€19.95) or even the silky-smooth Le Cèdre (€38.50); you will not be disappointed. However, the L’Héritage is also well worth a try; light clean, slightly austere blackcurrants with a light spice and dry finish. Perfect with belly of pork or duck breast.
Stockists : Fallon Byrne, Exchequer Street, Dublin.; Corkscrew, Chatham Street, Dublin; Liston’s, Camden Street, Dublin; Avoca, branches nationwide; Donnybrook Fair, Dublin 4; Le Caveau, Kilkenny; 64 Wine, Glasthule.
