Taste the Cahors Wines
When staying at Mas de Garrigue, you are perfectly positioned to explore the historic vineyards of Cahors, the birthplace of the bold Malbec grape (locally known as Côt or Auxerrois). Unlike its Argentinian cousins, Cahors Malbec is celebrated for its deep "black wine" hue, sophisticated tannins, and notes of dark plum and tobacco. For an unforgettable tasting journey, we highly recommend visiting Château de Mercuès, where the wines age in a spectacular underground cellar beneath a fairytale castle.
For a more contemporary and organic approach, Château du Cèdre produces some of the most prestigious and elegant bottles in the region. Finally, for those who appreciate history and breathtaking views, Château de Chambert offers biodynamic wines and a magnificent estate that has been producing wine since the 17th century.
