Description

Clos La Coutale Malbec Cahors is a type of red wine produced in the Cahors appellation in southwestern France. This wine is made from the Malbec grape, which is known locally as "Cot," and is the dominant grape variety in the Cahors region.  Clos La Coutale is a family-owned winery that has been producing wine since the 18th century. The vineyards are located on the hillsides overlooking the Lot River, and the grapes are grown on a mix of clay and limestone soils, which contribute to the wine's unique flavor profile.  This Wine has a deep ruby color and is known for its intense, complex flavors of blackberry, black currant, and spice. It has a medium to full body and a firm tannic structure, with a long finish.

This wine is aged in oak barrels for up to 12 months, which adds a subtle hint of vanilla and toast to the wine's flavor profile. It is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own, but it also pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, game, and hearty stews.  Overall, Clos La Coutale Malbec Cahors is a high-quality and distinctive example of Malbec from the Cahors region. It is a wine that reflects the unique terroir of the region and is a great choice for those who appreciate full-bodied, complex red wines.

Malbec

Malbec is a red wine grape originating from France but finding success in Argentina. Known for its dark, inky color, Malbec wines from Argentina are full-bodied with rich fruit flavors like blackberry and plum. They often have moderate to high tannins and pair well with grilled meats. While Argentina is the primary producer, Malbec is also grown in other regions globally. The grape struggled in the cooler Bordeaux climate but thrives in Argentina's warmer conditions, especially in the high-altitude vineyards of the Andes. The wines are generally approachable in their youth but can age well, developing complexity and softer tannins over time.
