Description
Yes, Cahors. The region that launched a thousand Malbecs. This week we are talking about what is in my opinion one of the most underrated, undervalued wines that France has to offer. This region has been copied, counterfeited, and undermined since Roman times. If you have ever said that you don't like Malbec, I am personally challenging you to take it back in this episode.  I used some great resources:  The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson  http://www.grape-experiences.com/2019/10/old-world-style-malbec-cahors/ https://www.decanter.com/features/cahors-taming-the-tiger-245717/ And I talk about some great producers:  Clos de la Coutale:  https://www.closlacoutale.com/en/histoire-vin-de-cahors Chateau du Cèdre:  https://www.chateauducedre.com/en/wines Chateau Eugenie:  https://chateaueugenie.com/ If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast  This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show.  Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious!  Music Credit: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
