Cahors Malbec on the Lead

The UIVC, the professional wine producers’ body in Cahors, is leading the dance at the moment on the Net.  The Cahors Malbecs are also often recommended in a new type of wine guides and also become more and more often part of tastings.

First of all, the UIVC produced a series of interesting videos on their wine and food world.  Then, Cahors Malbec keeps being talked about on the Net. Robert McIntosh, British blogger and one of the organizers of the European Wine Bloggers’ Conference, blogged about Cahors wines.  The Jacksonville Wine Guide wrote a long article on the history of the Malbec grape but unfortunately didn’t recommend any specific Cahors wines. Too bad.

A recent wine guide, written by Tyler Colman, a.k.a Dr Vino,  A Year of Wine,  recommended Cahors wines, such as Clos La Coutale, widely available in the US for $13. As the author of the well-respected blog vinography.com wrote,  “A Year of Wine presents readers with affordable wine suggestions from some of the world’s least explored wine regions, and Coleman puts the priority not on points but on when, where and with whom you’re sharing your wine experience.” This is the best recommendation for a style of wine, isn’t it?

Last but not least, Cahors wines are more and more often tasted. There was lately a tasting of South Western wines from France: Cahors, Madiran and Jurançon wines were presented by the Borough Wines Importers.
