Cieurac.
A small Malbec village in the Cahors vineyards
Wine Tasting
Cieurac sits among the vineyards of the Cahors wine region, in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. The village is small and rural, surrounded by rows of Malbec vines that cover the limestone slopes of the surrounding countryside. Stone farmhouses, built from local limestone, stand scattered across the landscape, many still working properties tied to the wine harvest.
The Cahors appellation is known for its deep, dark red Malbec wines, and Cieurac's vineyards form part of this landscape. Dry-stone walls and small plots of vines mark the fields between patches of woodland.
Life in Cieurac follows the rhythm of the vineyard calendar, from spring pruning to the autumn grape harvest. The village stays quiet, close to the market town of Cahors.
