A deep, ruby-purple colored wine that has a beautiful nose of smoke, toast, blackberry and blackcurrant jam aromas. It is very fruity with juicy black fruit flavors complemented by a touch of herbs (sage and rosemary), soft, fresh tannins, and an appealing, long finish. A Cahors that was made to drink young with game, duck, grilled meats, or on its own at a party.

Cahors is one of our favorite regions of France’s southwest; it is a very traditional place that has retained its connection with the past while the rest of France has modernized around it. George Vigouroux is one of the leading producers of Cahors, producing fresh wines from the region’s signature grape, Malbec. “Gouleyant” means juicy, and this wine is certainly that with plentiful, ripe black fruit aromas and flavors. A blend read more...of Malbec (80%) softened by the addition of Merlot (20%).

Of old stock from the Lot region of France, the Vigouroux family has been in the wine business for a century and a half owes its renown to know-how handed down from generation to generation. It was Georges Vigouroux, the third generation, who first planted vines on the hillsides of Cahors in 1971. He chose the spot where there had been a vineyard in the Middle Ages, becaming one of the new generation of pioneers of Cahors Now under the direction of his son, Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux, an oenologist, the production has expanded. Now the Vigouroux family own many of Cahors best estates, which they vinify in their beautiful stone-walled cellar called Atrium.
In the rugged limestone soils of Southwest France, Malbec is still widely planted. Its most famous wines come from Cahors, a medieval town on the river Lot. The “black wines of Cahors” have long been famous; there is even evidence that they were exported to London in the early 13th century!
