Côt

Côt is the enolgically correct name for Malbec. Côt is an old French variety with origins in the southern French region of Cahors. It is higher-tielding than Mallbec, but it was only durinng the 1800s, after it arrived in Argentina, that it's name changed to Malbec. A lot of Côt vines were lost to phylloxera, which is where the great differences berween the two began.
