About Cahors

Where it grows

Around Cahors along the Lot River and neighbouring causse plateaus in southwestern France.

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.
