Kagor or Cagor, a name not permitted by the EU because it is too similar to the well-known Cahors appellation (France). This name comes from the fondness of Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, for wines from southern France. The blood-red color of this wine impressed the Orthodox clergy, who saw it as a symbol of Christ. It was adopted as a communion wine in 1733. The notes of red fruits are very pronounced, with a surprising candied cherry aspect. There are also hints of chocolate and plum. Regardless of the serving temperature, this wine remains indulgent and rich. The sweetness balances well with the alcohol content, creating a harmonious and refreshing experience.
