Cahors gives Malbec a distinctive French home, with structured reds from Lot valley terraces and limestone uplands.
Malbec leads; Merlot and Tannat may support the blend.
Blackberry, plum and savoury spice with a dry palate, fresh acidity and firm tannins.
Cahors AOP is a red-wine origin led by Malbec, also known as Côt or locally Auxerrois. That local red-grape name should not be confused with the white Auxerrois variety elsewhere. Merlot and Tannat can support the blend. River terraces and upland sites offer contrasting growing settings, while cellar choices shape the wine’s tannin and ageing character. Cahors is a specific origin rather than a term for every French Malbec.
