Straddling two departments: Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne, the AOP Coteaux du Quercy includes 38 municipalities between the South of Cahors and the North of Montauban. It is on these clay-limestone soils and in a climate with a double influence (oceanic and Mediterranean) that the wines of the AOP Coteaux du Quercy flourish.

Les Vins des Coteaux du Quercy also has a strong brotherhood of more than 1 members which promotes and defends its wines.

They are “supple and fleshy” red wines, with aromas of fruit with spicy undertones. The rosés are fruity.
