The Côt Malbec Touraine from Domaine Rousseau Freres is a red wine from the Touraine region in the Loire Valley.
To call him Malbec or Pressac was therefore the same thing. It is generally called Auxerrois in the Cahors region, while in Bordeaux it retains the name of the other producer who brought it to the region (Malbeck). It is known as Côt in the Loire region, particularly in Touraine.

It is a wine that can be drunk young on the fruit or waited for a few years.
