This ancient, 17th century château located about an hour from the city of Cahors is making some fantastic and well-priced cuvées. This is a young savory Malbec from vineyards around Cahors, known as Cot du Lot It is soft, packed with black fruits and with layers of spicy acidity and just a tannic touch. More on the light-bodied, this is a wonderful Malbec to drink slightly chilled at any time of the year on its own or with a variety of meats and cheeses.
