Vignobles Saint Didier Parnac is delighted to announce it has won the Cahors Trophy at this year’s International Wine Challenge.
Mission de Cenac 2022 was crowned with the trophy having been given 96 points and a gold medal by the IWC.
“Intense, youthful, structured and powerfully assertive Cahor Malbec couched in a modern style with fruit to fore. Stylishly wooded with sweet spice damson and blackberry fruit flavours with the concentration to age in bottle.”
This is the third time Vignobles Saint Didier Parnac have won the International Wine Challenge Cahors Trophy since Hervé and Diane Joyaux Fabre and their associates purchased the estate in 2017.
The 2018 Cahors Trophy was awarded to Mission de Picpus and Calos Grand Réserve Malbec won the award in 2019.
The International Wine Challenge, the world’s most influential, impartial and rigorously judged global wine competition, announced the results of its 2024 competition last Thursday, marking its 40th year. Medals were awarded to 38 winemaking countries following a blind tasting by an international panel of experts. A total of just over 4,000 medals were awarded in 2024, and France continued its winning streak, winning the highest number of medals in each category with 72 Gold, 394 Silver and 455 Bronze; an increase of 84 more medals than last year.
