In the heart of Lot on Quercy’s large limestone plateaus, Cahors is a unique appellation in the world, used exclusively to produce red wine. It is sometimes referred to as “black wine” because of the color of its master grape: Malbec. This variety may be used alone or blended with two other noble grapes: Merlot and Tannat.

The bouquet of a young Cahors has powerful and complex aromas of black berries and spices. On the palate, Cahors is a tannic wine.
