Why we chose it

“Loire Malbec — called Cot here — lighter and more herbaceous than Argentine. An interesting and characterful red from an unexpected corner of France.”

About this wine

Loire Malbec from Its French Homeland

Before Argentina made Malbec famous worldwide, the variety was — and remains — at home in France's Loire Valley, where it is known as Cot. Les Vaublins Cot Malbec showcases this Loire expression: medium-bodied with a deep ruby colour and inviting aromas of ripe plum and blackberry, layered with soft spice and a touch of gentle oak.

On the palate the wine is smooth and well-structured, with supple tannins, balanced acidity and a lingering finish that speaks clearly of the grape's heritage. A versatile partner for grilled red meats, beef casseroles or hearty French country cooking.

About the producer

Domaine des Vaublins is a Loire estate producing wines in the Touraine and Cheverny appellations from Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Their wines offer the hallmark Loire freshness and mineral clarity, made from grapes grown in the siliceous clay and flint soils of the Touraine's flat valley floors.
