Cahors, in the South West of France is the ancestral home of Malbec, where in its French form, it is a more savoury, dark skinned & brooding variety that its Argentinian cousin. Perfected over the centuries, The 'Grand Vin' of Clos la Coutale, Grand Coutale, is a blend of Malbec, Merlot & Tannat with an average yield of only 25 hl, then matured in new oak barrels for 2 years with regular stirring to produce supple and silky tannins. This is an intense, inky, black fruit dominated full-bo
