Cahors situated in Southwest of France. It awarded AOC status in 1971. The dominant grape variety in Cahors wines is Malbec, which must make up a minimum of 70% of the wine. It is supplemented by up to 30% Merlot and Tannat. Because of the color, Cahors wine is known as “Black Wine”.
Intense dark purple color. The nose echoes the fruit color – black cherry complemented with some spiciness. The alcoholic strength leans on the high side. Light-weight palate of fruit. Probably past.
