Cahors in France is the home of Malbec and where the grape is originally from. The Argentinians have been making it their own since the early eighties and this twin set celebrates the varietal from both parts of the world. It makes a great gift for Malbec fans to try the two different styles from different corners of the world. Here are two wonderful examples of great Malbec wines, really well made.  Lorgeril 1620 Malbec Languedoc, France1 x 75cl Bottles                                                                                                     *** Silver at Decanter World Wine Awards *** *** Silver at Wine of Argentina Challenge ***  *** 90 Points - Wine Decanter *** Southern France, with its multifarious regions, indigenous grapes, cultures and traditions is home to some of the most exciting, characterful wines in the world at present. Mont Rocher is a collection of wines produced from indigenous varieties, produced in a style that lets them clearly express their varietal typicity and sense of place. Tasting Note: Deep in colour with ripe plum, blackberries and cherries on the nose. This is rich and rounded wine with perfectly balanced tannins. The long finish is smooth and succulent.  Catena MalbecMendoza, Argentina1 x 75cl Bottles According to Jancis Robinson, Nicolás Catena Zapata is the man credited with putting Argentine Malbec on the global wine map.

The Catena wines are a special blend of vineyards at the higher altitude. The wine is made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. This wine is made from fruit sourced from four different vineyards. The grapes are divided into lots that are harvested at different times. All the vineyards are found at high altitudes:
