Nestled in the Lot valley, the Cahors vineyards experienced a real boom when Gascony was attached to England. Barrels could be transported on the Lot to Bordeaux, from where they were shipped to England: this was the success of the "black wine".
In 1720, Cahors lived its golden age and the vineyards reached 40,000 hectares, before phylloxera destroyed them and Cahors wine fell into oblivion shortly after the First World War.
Today, the "black wine" has risen from its ashes under the guidance of talented winemakers, and offers us a bouquet of intense aromas of red fruits, licorice and spices, whose ageing potential promises us many years of pleasure.
