Malbec

Famous as the red version of Sauv. Blanc in that it has introduced legions of people to wine through it’s neo-classical iteration from Argentina, but it started in France. Malbec, originally from Cahors in France was known as Cot and...

Versatile, intense wine with the presence of a lot of fruits, balanced acidity and medium structure. 

New wave Cahors at its very best, destemmed and raised in concrete and amphorae - juicy and compelling Malbec.

I don't remember ever knowingly trying a Malbec, Tannat, Merlot blend still wine, never mind a Rose. Unfiltered and bonkers.

The flambouyantly named You Fuck My Wine is just delicious, intense, lively and really, really racy acidity. 

Another wonder blend from Cahors' badass wine maker, Fabien Jouves. The name of this one is some sort of clever pun on you are no longer welcome at this party.

Mabec, concrete, exceptional purity. Between the modern Malbecs of Fabien Jouves and Valerie Courreges, Cahors might be the most exciting region in France. 

De-stemmed, fresh, juicy with a beautiful line of graphite-led acidity. This is taut, mineral goodness!

The label looks like a terrible acid trip (one imagines of course) and you can't even make out the name on the label. Delicious though.

Bois Carmin is 50 year old Malbec vines, bio-dynamic, elegant and fine, an absolutely haunting Malbec.
