2010 Château Lafleur de Haute-Serre, Cahors, Southwest France

( £10.49 down to £7.85, 13.5%, Waitrose )

You may have to go into store to buy this, as it doesn’t seem to be available on line, but it’s worth it. It’s light and refreshing for a Cahors, with no oak, sweet bramble and blackberry fruit, good balance and a perky, refreshing finish. 10% Merlot adds a little  plumpness to the blend, fleshing out the 90% Malbec.
