Cahors itself is one of France’s most ancient wine regions, established in Quercy by the Romans, who developed its production with such success that in 92 A.D. Emperor Domitian ordered half the vineyards torn out to protect Italian wine production — a decree the locals famously disobeyed. The 2023 Malbec is crafted in a hearty, rustic style that is simultaneously ready for immediate enjoyment and built to age — a savvy wine drinker’s benchmark for French Malbec at a value price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is warm and expressive: dark fruit, wild berries, earth, and a slightly wild streak that sets this apart from Argentine Malbec and signals the terroir of the Lot. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with excellent structure, supple tannins, and a long, satisfying finish. It holds its own alongside celebrated appellations and brings real presence to the table — the kind of Southwest French red that disappears fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A hearty, rustic red from France’s southwest — this Cahors has everything a savvy wine drinker wants: ready for immediate consumption, excellent structure to age, and comes in at a value price. The 2023 vintage has a slightly wild streak, which goes perfectly with a medium-rare ribeye and roast rosemary potatoes.\" — Tom Wolf\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clos La Coutale, Cahors, Southwest France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cahors AOC, Southwest France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malbec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alluvial gravel \u0026amp; clay-limestone silica on the Lot River meanders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark fruit, wild berries, earth, rustic character, supple tannins, long structured finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Paired With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribeye steak, cassoulet, roast lamb, duck confit, vegetable stew, quesadillas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrance’s benchmark Cahors Malbec at an honest price — Clos La Coutale is the standard for what structured, terroir-driven Southwest French Malbec can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47659780899099,"sku":"P12421","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/lnesknixvhrx1cs9qp8z.jpg?v=1788454385","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/clos-la-coutale-cahors-2021-750ml-red","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
