Cahors AOC in 5 questions

What defines a Cahors AOC?+

The Cahors AOC requires a Malbec-dominant blend (at least 70%), capped yields and a restricted area in the south-east Lot valley. The result: deep, structured red wines with a mineral signature.

How long can you cellar a Cahors?+

From 3 to 15 years depending on the cuvée. Our Tradition is drinking now and keeps for 5 years; Clos de Pougette holds up to 8 years; Hauts de Pougette up to 12.

Are all your Cahors organic?+

Yes — the entire estate is certified organic, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.

What food goes with a Cahors?+

Cahors loves grilled red meats, duck confit and breast, Quercy cassoulet, aged cheeses and slow-cooked dishes. Our top cuvée also pairs beautifully with truffle.

What's the right serving temperature?+

16 to 18 °C depending on the cuvée. Too warm, it loses freshness; too cold, the nose closes up. A short decant helps young vintages open.
