Appellation Cahors - AOC

The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) Cahors, located in the South-West region of France, is renowned for its robust and elegant wines, primarily crafted from the Malbec grape variety, also known as "Côt" or "Auxerrois". Rooted in clay-limestone soils and benefiting from a sunny climate, Cahors wines are distinguished by intense aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and spicy notes.

Cahors wines are recognised for their remarkable ageing potential, evolving beautifully over time thanks to their well-balanced tannic structure. Perfect for accompanying rich dishes like cassoulet or duck breast, they impress with their complexity and depth.
