黑酒之名傳承於古老的卡奧爾洛特河畔，早在中世紀的歐洲，英國人就開始進口這種獨特的葡萄「黑酒」。釀造過程是先將部分葡萄或葡萄的汁液加熱，再進行常規葡萄酒釀造成為這種「黑酒」。為了能夠使這古老的釀酒方式得到傳承，Jean-Luc Baldes家族率先開創了現代化黑酒釀造工藝，使葡萄酒愛好者能體會穿越時代、上等的「黑酒」。

Limited Release
Its name dates back to the time when the local wine-growers heated some of the grape bunches or the "musts" to produce the so-called "black wines" of Cahors. In echoing these historic origins, Jean-Luc Baldès wanted to recall that such wines were particularly popular with the English in the Middle Ages.
