The third Malbec Journée Internationales (International Malbec Days), takes place from the 21st to the 23rd of May 2010, in Cahors, France.
The general topic this year is the Malbec of the World, as there are many countries which produce wine from this grape. While Argentina and the Cahors area in France represent the two leading producing zones of Malbec, California, Chile and other French regions produce great Malbec wines as well.
For three days Cahors will welcome producers from around the world, experts, journalists and trade professionals to taste many wines, talk about the various expressions of this wonderful grape and share tips and information.
