AOC Cahors The limestone character of the soil accounts for the outstanding quality of this wine. True to the reputation of Cahors, this red wine is dark, tannic, and long-lived but, due to the iron in the soil, the wine remains soft and low in acid while the Merlot aspect confers a delightful fruitiness. There is intrigue in every sip. Cepages: Auxerrois (Malbec) and Merlot About the Producer: Jean-Luc and Dominique Bergon. The Bergons have been producing wine in Cahors, the heart of Quercy, since 1898. They focus their efforts on developing a traditional wine consistent with the unique attributes of their land. Tasting Notes: In the glass, this wine is deep red with purplish highlights. The nose is fruity, slightly floral while leathery. Its flavors are expressive and long, well-structured and full. Recommended Food Pairings: This is a deep, luxurious wine; think of foods that require a counter point. Beef and Lamb, cheese, duck confit. Awards: Silver medal at the Concours of Independent Winemaker of France; Guide Hachette 2006 Also from this Producer: Reve d'Ange, Cuvee d'Honneur |
