Côt (also known as Malbec)

Côt, commonly known as Malbec, is a red wine grape originally from France, particularly the Cahors region. It produces rich, dark wines that are often characterized by deep flavors of blackberry, plum, and hints of chocolate. Malbec gained immense popularity, especially in Argentina, where it thrives in the warm climate, leading to softer, fruitier styles. The wines typically have a full body, moderate acidity, and smooth tannins, making them enjoyable on their own or paired with hearty dishes like grilled meats. Côt/Malbec is celebrated for both its depth of flavor and versatility.
