The wine region of Cahors
Historic cradle of Malbec, the "black wine" of South-West France: signature Côt (≥70%) reigns in reds — dark-hued with black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry), plum, violet and a liquorice touch, cedar and cocoa on ageing, structured tannins and great cellaring aptitude. Supple Merlot softens, dense Tannat optional. AOC (1971), ~4,000 ha across three alluvial terraces of the Lot and limestone causses, Aquitaine-southern climate, ageing 8-15 years.
The wine region of South West
French mosaic of strong identities south of Bordeaux. Cahors and its Malbec ("black wine"): deep reds with notes of blackberry, plum, violet, tobacco and cocoa, firm tannins. Madiran and its dense, age-worthy Tannat. Jurançon whites: golden sweet (apricot, honey, pineapple) and lively dry from Petit Manseng.
The word of the wine: Botrytis
Fungus that causes grape rot.
