The Cahors Malbec representatives, Alain Janicot and Jeremy Arnaud, went to China to present the Cahors wines to the wine professionals and press a few weeks ago. Following this presentation, contacts were made with the Chinese professionals interested in the Cahors wines. From october 1st to October 9, the journalist and consultant george Zhao will visit the Cahors area. Several Chinese journalists will attend the International Malbec Days from May 21st to May 23rd, 2009.

Special links between Cahors wines and China were created after two students from the Malbec Academy graduated and started working: one of them is now working for the Chinese importer Mercuris and the other became a free lance journalist while consulting for various importers.

The UIVC will publish soon the most recent export figures of Cahors wine son the Chinese market.
