Cahors Malbecs is very much present in the news at the moment. After the Boston Tasting of December 9, we heard some nice rumors. First of all, Gary V - yes, THE Gary V - twitted about Cahors: he loves the wines and  feels sorry for theis under rated wine region. Don't worry, Gary! We're working on it and soon Cahors will be on all the radars! But thanks to you to be a pioneer.

Then a few wine magazines and blogs kindly answered to the Cahors malbec campaign. The PalatePress Magazine published an editorial on Cahors written by Adam Japko and the banner on the top of the page promotes the video. There will be more on Cahors Malbecs very soon.

Cahors Malbec is a young, trendy, romantic and gourmet wine. This new video will show you the beauty and the originality of the wine and the terroir, from the consumer to the terroir. Enjoy!

Two French wine merchants were invited to Hong Kong to present their range of South West Wines. Cahors was represented by Chateau Cantelauze Le Cotagé 2007. "Château Cantelauze Cahors ‘Le Cotagé’ 2007 (Malbec) (Cahors): Luminous, deep dark red. Cherries, blueberries, spice, a touch of clove and mocha. In the mouth, the tannins are silky and flowery. The fruitiness has melting sensations of violet fruit jelly, accentuating the wine’s flfleshiness", writes the author of the WineBuzz.hk author. "The Château Cantelauze Cahors ‘Le Cotagé’ 2007 was a bold and strong wine that we felt really worked well, and is definitely worth recommending."
