Winery Overview
Since 1830 Clos Triguedina has been the cradle of the Baldès family. It is a domain with a rich history: one where the Pilgrims of St Jacques de Compostela would often stop to revive themselves (“Me triga de dina” means “I am longing to dine” in Occitan).
Situated at the heart of the most prestigious of the Cahors vineyards, Clos Triguedina is a place of magical fertility where Jean-Luc Baldès, the 7th generation of Baldès winemakers, seeks to let his “terroir” express its true secrets.
Recognised all over the world as a master of the Malbec grape, Jean-Luc Baldès is able to use his talents to exploit unique vines nestling in the twists and turns of the Lot valley. The estate comprises 65 hecatares covering 2nd, 3rd and 4th terraces.
Innovation is at the core of this audacious range of wines: the exceptional New Black Wine, born out of heating the grapes, the incomparable Prince Probus, the three new Premier Crus which represent a huge leap forward in the classification of Cahors wines, the sweet white which is harvested so late in the year and Bul’s, the first ever sparkling Malbec.
