Information
- Description
- In 2019, I had the opportunity to buy a wine estate in the Cahors region with high quality potential located on “large terroirs” planted with old vines.
I am a young winemaker aware of the potential of the Cahors terroir who has modestly decided to invest in a sublime terroir of first-rate clay and limestone!
The vineyard is made up of two blocks of vines of 11 HA each, WITH AN IMMEDIATE CONVERSION TO BIODYNAMICS (DEMETER LABELING) IN PROGRESS.
The first BLOCK SITUATED On the commune of Montcuq is PLANTED WITH Syrah, Gamay, Malbec and Cabernet Franc VARIETIES. it is from the AOP Coteaux du Quercy that I claim AS French wine. this gives me much more freedom, in a restrictive AOP SYSTEM, and going against the grain of an approach “with natural expression” and a wine-making approach that is EXTREMIST and perfectionist.
The second BLOCK is located On the commune of Sauzet on the plateau terroirs of the AOP Cahors. The strength of this BLOCK is that there is a thickness of soil above the limestone BASE rock (friable limestone) with beautiful, HIGHLY qualitative clays, hence increased resistance to drought and to excess water with “natural” drainage (swelling clays).
