Unicorn Toad, Red 2024
Danis dans la vigne
Behind this playful name lies a seriously inspired cuvée: Crapaud Licorne (Unicorn Toad) is the free and natural vision of a modern Cahors, full of brilliance and sincerity. Produced by "Danis dans la vigne," a committed artisan winemaker, this 100% Malbec challenges the norms of an appellation often associated with power. Here, the focus is on finesse, fruit vibrancy, and freedom of expression.
A pure Malbec, precise winemaking
The grapes come from clay-limestone soils typical of the Lot region, cultivated according to organic farming principles (AB certified). After a gentle two-week maceration, fermentation occurs naturally, without oenological inputs or added yeasts. Nine months of aging in stainless steel tanks preserves all the freshness and energy of the grape, resulting in a lively, digestible, and deeply sincere wine.
An elegant and distinctive profile
Upon tasting, Crapaud Licorne reveals a dark color with purplish reflections. The nose opens with aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), pepper, and subtly herbaceous notes. On the palate, the texture is fine, almost silky, with beautiful ripeness and a fresh, spicy finish. The tannins are present but delicate, perfectly balancing the fruit's richness.
A companion for fine dining
Decanted one hour before serving, between 14 and 16°C, this wine brilliantly accompanies stews, grilled meats, or artisanal charcuterie. It can also age for 5 to 10 years in the cellar, gaining complexity while retaining its free spirit.
