When dinner is going to be cassoulet, duck stew, goose or any sort of long-simmered dish of legumes, nothing beats Cahors, the "black wine" of southwestern France. And our favorite Cahors has long been the Héritage cuvée from Château du Cèdre. It hails from the best, iron-rich soils of the appellation and is almost entirely Malbec in composition...so you get all the grippy, ferrous, dark-fruited qualities needed to really show off rich, fatty winter dishes. Organic.
