*5R* 2018 Chateau de Gaudou “Puro” Cotes du Lot (Cahors, FR)

Weight: 5R

Varietal: Malbec

Region: Cahors, France

Cahors is the ancestral home of the Malbec grape. Centuries before it became Argentina's signature grape, the "legendary black wines of Cahors" outshone Bordeaux, so much so that the Bordelais would blockade the river until they had sold their wines first. Open a bottle of Puro for a taste of what Bordeaux was afraid of competing against!
