PORTRAIT - JEAN-LUC BALDES |
|
|
 |
Jean-Luc Baldès is one of the leading figures in the Cahors wine region.
The determined attitude of this talented wine-grower has led him to acquire a profound understanding of how to get the best out of his lands and make great wines from them.
Jean-Luc Baldès, the eighth successive generation in charge of the estate, has known how to take his varied range of wines to the highest level of quality while maintaining the best of his forebears wine-growing traditions.

|
He would be the first to say how much he owes to the teaching of his father and grandfather as well as his wine studies in Burgundy and the Bordeaux region.
He also had several professional experiences of vine cultivation in the Médoc and Barsac regions.
All this inspired him with a desire for the Clos Triguedina vineyards to acquire the best techniques he had learned - in vine growing, vinification and the production of specific wines - to be directed throughout at placing the highest demands on quality.

|
Today, Jean-Luc Baldès and his wife Sabine reap the fruits of their labour but never fail to stress the importance of their team and its invaluable work.
Their wines are supplied to nationally-famed restaurants and to the country's highest institutions:
the President of the Republic at the Elysée Palace, the Senate and the National Assembly, and individual Ministries.
|
 |
|
They also receive regular reviews in the media, including mentions of their numerous successes.
As a wine-grower, Jean-Luc Baldès is recognised as a specialist in the Malbec grape variety. Now in his 50s and the father of five children, he can take justifiable pride in both his professional and personal achievements in life.
