Malbec
Malbec, also known in France as Côt, is a red grape variety with deep colour, generous dark fruit and often a smooth, powerful structure. Historically rooted in south-west France, especially Cahors, it became internationally famous through Argentina and particularly Mendoza. Côt is the traditional French name, especially relevant in Cahors, while Malbec is the name most widely recognised in the international wine market.Typical aromas include plum, blackberry, black cherry, violet, cocoa and spice. Depending on origin, Malbec can be firm, dark and savoury in Cahors or ripe, plush and fruit-driven in Argentina, with high-altitude sites adding freshness and precision.

There it forms the basis of dark, structured red wines with a long tradition.Argentina now defines much of the modern image of Malbec. Mendoza, the Uco Valley, Salta and other high-altitude regions produce wines with intense fruit, freshness and balance. The grape is also grown in Chile, the United States, Australia and beyond.
Which Malbec styles are there?

Higher-altitude wines can be fresher, more floral and more precise, with good ageing potential.Cahors shows a firmer, more savoury and tannic side of the grape.
