About The Producer

Corcus is the partnership between Paul Hobbs and 4th generation Cahors vitner Bertrand Gabriel Vigouroux. The collaboration began in 2009 and is the mix of old world and new world. If you have never heard of Cahors, google search it. This is a lovely, ancient and picturesque town in Southwest France that is known for its "black" wine made from the grape Malbec (also known locally as "Cot"). Crocus's main focus is on malbec and allowing the grape to express its full potential. The La Roche Mere stands for the "mother or parent rock that is specific to Cahors, the Kimmeridgian limestone which is found exclusively on the plateua." Give this a go, you won't be disapointed.

Reviews

Wine Enthusiast
The top wine in the range made in a joint venture between the Bertrand Vigouroux family of Cahors and Sonoma winemaker/consultant Paul Hobbs, this wine is hugely dense. It has powerful tannins along with opulent black fruits and serious concentration. Expect this wine to age for several more years. Drink from 2023.

Wine Spectator
A generous, ink-textured red that oozes with cherry filling, blueberry reduction and chocolate mousse flavors, underscored by espresso, black olive and mineral details. Full, silky tannins linger with rose petal and licorice snap accents on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 495 cases made.
