Video sum up: Is Malbec only from Argentina?

The answer is no.

Malbec is a very popular grape in Argentina but is best known for its use in France especially in Cahors (click here to locate Cahors in France). Malbec from Cahors are dark robust tannic, real winter wine to pair with Cassoulet, Stews and other French dishes.

Malbec was also very popular in Bordeaux at one point and is still used to some degree. Malbec has been replaced progressively by Merlot.

In a nutshell, Malbec is used throughout the world but is best known in France and Argentina.

Example of Malbec from Cahors: Chateau des Cèdres Cédrus
