In-depth dossier
Granted appellation status in 1971, Cahors stretches across 45 villages along the Lot river. Malbec — the ruling grape, at a minimum 70 % of the blend — shapes a deep, structured wine built for ageing.
Limestone causses, alluvial terraces, semi-continental climate: every parcel leaves its signature. We devote five sub-pages to it.
