What kinds of food go well with these French malbec wines?
There is a natural affinity between the regional foods of the southwest and its regional wines. This means drinking this hearty red with confit de canard, cassoulet, grilled duck breast (magret de canard), leg of lamb, and highly-flavored game. The stronger tastes of boar, venison, and rabbit, all of which can turn up in that peasant stew called civet are tamed by a good Cahors, which can also stand up to dishes using salted or smoked meat (anything with ham or bacon), and even spicier.
