Chateau La Coustarelle

2004 Cahors 90% Malbec, 10% Tannat

Global Wine Company Chateau La Coustarelle is a striking red wine that beautifully represents the Cahors region of France. This full-bodied wine is crafted from a blend of ninety percent Malbec and ten percent Tannat, creating a complex profile that is rich and satisfying. It showcases pronounced acidity, adding brightness and liveliness to the palate, while the tannins are notably structured, contributing to a robust mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is prominent, with rich notes of dark berries and plum, balanced by hints of spice and earthiness that reflect the terroir of Cahors. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes such as grilled meats or rich stews, ensuring an unforgettable dining experience.

Region:


Cahors

Southwestern France's Cahors region is known for its deep, dark red wines of the same name. This small town on the Lot River is the original home of the Malbec grape, which tastes very different from its modern Argentinean cousins. In Cahors, this juicy grape is known as Côt, and makes leaner and drier wines than New World examples. Expect earthy flavors of dried leaves and cocoa, firm tannins and such a concentration of color (and polyphenols) that Cahors is sometimes known as "black wine." While the majority of Cahors is single-varietal, sometimes Merlot and/or Tannat are blended in. Aged in oak, these wines exhibit intense flavors of dark berry and spice.
