Cahors

Cahors is a historic wine region in southwestern France, situated along the Lot River about 160km east of Bordeaux. The region is renowned for its deeply-colored, tannic red wines made predominantly from the Malbec grape (locally called Côt or Auxerrois), which must constitute at least 70% of the blend, often complemented by Merlot and Tannat. Cahors wines, historically known as 'Black Wine' due to their intense color, typically exhibit robust flavors of dark fruits, licorice, and earthy notes, with significant aging potential.

Mary Taylor's collaboration with Odile Delpon brings us this authentic expression of Cahors – the original home of Malbec long before Argentina made the grape famous. This bottle represents the traditional 'Black Wine' style that has made this Southwest French region legendary among wine enthusiasts. Delpon's family has deep roots in Cahors, giving her an intimate understanding of how to express the region's unique terroir. While Argentine Malbec tends toward plush fruit, this French expression shows more structure, minerality, and savory complexity – a reflection of the region's limestone-clay soils and continental climate. Mary Taylor's commitment to highlighting authentic regional wines allows this genuine expression to reach wine lovers without corporate markup or marketing fluff. It's the perfect bottle for those looking to explore Malbec's French roots or simply enjoy a characterful red with remarkable depth and sense of place.
