This plateau setting gives a different perspective on Cahors from the river terraces below, while the marl distinguishes La Roque from neighbouring limestone-grown cuvées.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Roque 2023 brings black fruit, flowers and a little spice, with a freshness that keeps the wine fluid.
