Region: Southwest, France
Appellation: Cahors
Color/Style: Red Wine
Grapes: Malbec, Merlot

In 2016, this wine actually came from the same parcel as Bois Grand. The quantities of each variety were different: 50% Merlot, 50% Côt, and they were separated for fermentation and maceration, then blended for aging. In order to have the AOC Cahors, this wine must be at least 70% Malbec, which was not the case in the first vintage. Maya and Nicholas decided not to seek out the appellation in the following year (though they had the right to do so), preferring to keep their options open to use more Merlot in the future.
