* It were the Romans who planted the first grapevines so it makes those the oldest in France. Cahors is the birthplace of Malbec wines from all over the world. In Cahors, Malbec is often called Cot Noir and more famously known by its medieval nickname of 'Black Wine' due to its deep, dark colour. During the Middle Ages, the 'Black Wine' was drunk all over Europe by kings, emperors and Popes and it became AOC in 1971. To visit one of the many wineries is a must!
