The Black Wine of Lot
By Linda Tancs
Cahors is a town on the Lot River in the Occitanie region of southern France. It’s well known for its Malbec wine with dark, inky hues that ancient Romans called “black wine.” You’ll find plenty of it at Cahors market, a Saturday staple at the foot of the magnificent Cathedral of Saint-Etienne where tourists and locals alike gather. In addition to the wine, exhibitors offer local Rocamadour cheese, pastis apple cake, walnuts, truffles, saffron and foie gras, among other things.
