Cahors

In the winding valley of the Lot, Malbec finds remarkable precision and depth on the sparse limestone plateaux of the Causses. Far removed from ponderous clichés, producers such as Clos Troteligotte draw out the mineral coolness of the terroir, which shapes both the characterful red wines and the surprisingly vibrant whites made from Chenin Blanc. This selection celebrates the new school of Cahors, uniting structure with unadulterated freshness.
