Winery list for Cahors
In a very touristic landscape characterized by the numerous twists and turns of the lots, the Cahors AOC has long been considered the powerhouse of the wines of the Southwest for the ancient nature of its soil, but also for pronounced character of the wines that are produced here.
Aside from alluvial deposits, the vines are situated on the thinnest soils in the part of this dry region that is the hottest in the summer season. With 4,000 hectares of production, the Cahors AOC constitutes one of the great appellations of the Southwest.
The Cot varietal, also known as Auxerrois, yields terrific results here: assuring a well-ripened varietal, the thin soils of the terraces and hills give the wines a dense color and a remarkable tannic strength, with aromas of dark berries, violet and licorice.
Dominant varietal: Auxerrois (a.k.a. Cot or Malbec)
