The flagship of Benoît Aymard’s range, LA-O showcases the depth and elegance that Cahors Malbec can achieve. Sourced from older vines on limestone-rich soils, it is vinified with minimal intervention to highlight the purity of fruit and the character of the terroir. The result is a wine of striking balance — combining ripe black fruits, floral violet notes, and subtle oak spice with firm yet refined tannins.
More structured and age-worthy than its playful siblings, LA-O is a modern classic of Cahors: concentrated and polished, yet retaining freshness and lift. It’s a wine for the dinner table — pairing beautifully with hearty autumn dishes — and one that will reward both immediate enjoyment and a few years of patience in the cellar.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
