History: During the middle age Cahors was known as the 'Black Wine' and was served at the wedding of Eleanor of Acquitaine and Henri II Plantagenet of England. Thanks to the river Lot, the wines of Cahors could be shipped to Bordeaux and on to the UK where it was a firm favourite until the 19th century when Phylloxera destroyed the vineyard. Following the replanting Cahors acquired its AOP status in 1971.
Regional information: The Cahors vineyard is at an equal distance from the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees.This geographical position ensures that the vineyards are protected from both the Atlantic humidity and the Mediterranean downpours in the Autumn thus resulting ina ripening of the crop without rain, through a sunny Indian summer. The first vines were planted there around 50BC.
