The Legend of Black Wine... In the western foothills of the Massif Central a legendary wine was once made. From the winding banks of the Lot River, and particularly in the region’s high plains, came the black wine of Cahors. Fiery, intense, supernaturally concentrated stuff, fashioned from Malbec and Tannat, grapes undeniably up to the task of making wine in which you could stand up your spoon. A long time ago they made a lot of it, and the prized black wine was traded across Europe. Today the wines of Cahors are less monolithic. Some producers continue in the quest to make wine that distinct historic fashion. Many others, including Clos Siguier have chosen to explore other untapped facets of their indigenous grapes’ capabilities, particularly the possibility of freshness and brightness in wines fashioned from the Malbec grape.
