Cahors Wines

Cahors is a wine region in France located 160 km east of Bordeaux. Cahors is renowned for its deeply colored red wines made predominantly from Malbec (known locally as both Côt and Auxerrois). However, small quantities of Tannat and Merlot are produced here as well of similar quality. As a defining characteristic, Cahors red wine is darkly colored and has a meaty, herb-tinged aroma with hints of spiced black cherries and a whiff of cedar. If that doesn't make your taste buds crave for a sip maybe Cahors wines are too much for you.
