Cahors

The Cahors wine, a revered gem of South West France, is a compelling reflection of the region's rich vinicultural heritage. Nestled in the picturesque Lot Valley, the vineyards of Cahors sprawl across an enchanting landscape from the high plateaux to the river terraces.

Cahors wine, prominently known as the 'Black Wine' for its profoundly dark colour, is a flavourful blend primarily using Malbec grapes, also termed 'Cot' or 'Auxerrois'. Supplementary grapes, including Merlot and Tannat, are often used to complement Malbec, further enriching the texture and complexity of the wine.

This robust red wine is a connoisseur's delight, distinguished by its bold character and rich tannins. It strikes an impressive balance between the aroma of black fruits such as plum and blackberry, and subtle hints of liquorice and spice. With ageing, it develops an array of nuanced flavours and silky textures, making it a timeless favourite.

Protected under the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) status since 1971, Cahors wine strives to maintain its traditional methods of wine production, adding to its authenticity and allure. The gravely, Iron-rich terroir endows an unmatched depth of flavour to the wine grown in this region.

Cahors wine pairs beautifully with a plethora of hearty dishes, notably rich, slow-cooked meats, duck confit, regional cheese, and even dark chocolate, making it an ideal choice for gourmands seeking an authentic French epicurean experience.

Immersed in tradition, Cahors is not merely producing a wine but allowing wine lovers worldwide to sip the essence of South West France. It offers a versatile range of wines, from the fruit-forward, easy-drinking style perfect for beginners, to beautifully-aged and complex offerings for the discerning wine lover. A glass of Cahors wine is a journey through history, culture, and land offering a captivating tale of indulgence with every sip.
