ChĂąteau de Cayx â CuvĂ©e MajestĂ© 2014
ChĂąteau de Cayx, also known as ChĂąteau de CaĂŻx, is the French winery in Cahors owned by the Danish royal family. The chĂąteau serves as a private residence for Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik and also produces wines from the classic vineyards along the Lot River.
CuvĂ©e MajestĂ© was first produced in the 2012 vintage by Prince Henrik (Henri Marie Jean AndrĂ© Count de Laborde de Monpezat). The wine was created for the grand gala dinner in connection with Queen Margretheâs 75th birthday in 2015.
The 2014 vintage is made from grapes from a special 1.5-hectare parcel, where the vines are around 35 years old. Yields are kept lowâabout 40 hectoliters per hectareâto ensure concentration and quality. After harvest, the bunches are destemmed and the grapes are sorted by hand.
Vinification
After harvest, the grapes undergo cold maceration for 3â4 days, after which fermentation takes place in large stainless-steel tanks of around 50 hectoliters. Total maceration lasts about 30 days, ensuring maximum extraction of color, aroma, and structure.
The wine is then aged for 24 months in new barriques, giving structure, depth, and complexity.
Profile
- Aroma: Plums, blackcurrants, figs, and dates
- Notes: Chocolate, menthol, vanilla, and toasted oak
- Structure: Full-bodied with pronounced tannins
- Taste: Dark berries, pepper, clove, and cardamom
- Style: Powerful and concentrated
Aging potential
Cuvée Majesté 2014 is a structured Cahors wine with clear tannin and oak influence. It will develop greater complexity with further aging and is therefore recommended to be cellared for a few years before opening.
