Light and aromatic reds with a clear ruby hue, smooth tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, featuring discreet Muscat aromas (rose, fresh grape) and red fruits. Delicate rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE variety collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the family of ancient Muscats studied for their genetic interest. Rare French black variety, a Muscat variation.

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.
