Cahors

The AOC Cahors is located in the Lot department and covers 4,050 hectares of vines between Cahors and Soturac. Nicknamed the "black wine", Cahors is a world-renowned red wine with a robe so dark that it appears black. And as the saying goes: "If you can see your fingers through the robe of the wine, then it is not Cahors".

 

The vines are mainly planted on flat surfaces on the top of the limestone plateaus that border the meandering Lot valley. The Cahors climate is a mixture of oceanic and Mediterranean. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year and temperatures are mild, but the terroir benefits from regular sunshine during hot summers that are  favorable to the ripeness of the grapes and the power developed by the Cahors.

 

The production of nearly 200,000 hectoliters per year, exclusively in red wine, is based around the auxerrois (or cot, or malbec), the typical grape variety of the Cahors vineyard. It is accompanied by merlot and tannat in the blends. Cahors wines are full-bodied, full-bodied and well-structured. They remain supple with well coated tannins.
