How to get there - Cahors
Les Coteaux de Glanes
In the late 1960s, the Vignerons du Haut-Quercy, a group of passionate winegrowers, replanted a vineyard with Merlot, Gamay and Segalin grape varieties, adapted to the local climate and soil. Since then, they have been producing IGP Coteaux de Glanes wines. The winegrowers work in a cooperative spirit, but they welcome visitors to each property and sell directly from their premises. A discovery trail, which runs from the village center to the higher ground, provides information on the vineyards, grape varieties, history and landscape.
Malbec, the wine of Cahors
Steps: Cahors
We are heading to the production area of Cahors wine, which has had an AOC since the 1970s. We suggest you start with a tasting at the Villa Malbec in Cahors, the showcase of the AOC, to understand the complexity of the wines of the appellation. Then, you can opt for a visit to one of the great names of Cahors: Lagrezette, Vigouroux, Chambert or Eugénie. We advise you to choose one of these four great names and then complete your visit with a smaller estate. Indeed, Cahors is as much about the big estates as it is about more confidential productions. The future of Cahors is also at stake behind the small estates with the younger generation, perhaps more playful and less conventional. We suggest two estates: Clos d'Audhuy with Benoît Aymard and Lacombe-La-Serre with Julien Ilbert.
