Château de Pressac

The Pressac Castle It dates back to the Middle Ages, and traces of this period can still be seen, notably in its fortified gate. In the early 18th century, the Vassal de Montviel introduced a grape variety native to Quercy to the estate; it was renamed “Noir de Pressac” but eventually became more commonly known as Malbec. In 1997, the Pressac Castle was acquired by the Quenin family, who would take the estate to the very top, since in 2012 the Pressac Castle has been designated a Grand Cru Classé.
