Château Coustarell —
the black soul of Cahors
Château Coustarell is located in southwestern France, where the Lot River meanders through the limestone hills of Cahors . The region has a distinct wine identity that clearly sets it apart from the rest of the southwest: Malbec—called Côt here—grows on soils of Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, which impart an earthy, almost mineral character to the wine, unlike anything found in other growing regions for this variety.
Coustarell's wines don't follow any fashionable trends. Dark fruit, blackberry, plum, a hint of graphite and leather—that's the house style: structured, with tannins that develop into a velvety depth after a few years of bottle aging. Those who are patient will be rewarded with wines that tell their story of origin.
Coustarell's bottles are recommended by the glass with braised lamb, confit de canard or a robust Tomme from the Pyrenees — dishes that do not shy away from the structure of Malbec, but need it.
