Malbec

2006 Cahors Malbec

The Georges Vigouroux Malbec from the renowned Cahors region is a stunning example of this varietal, showcasing a deep red color that draws you in. The 2006 vintage offers a medium-bodied profile that elegantly balances richness and drinkability. Its acidity is bright, providing a refreshing lift that complements the wine's rich fruit characteristics. The fruit intensity is prominent, with beautiful notes of dark berries, plums, and hints of spice that linger on the palate. While the tannins are notable and provide a firm structure, they are supple enough to allow for an enjoyable tasting experience. This wine is dry, making it a fantastic companion to hearty dishes and a perfect choice for those looking to explore the traditional expressions of Malbec from Cahors.

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.
