“A wine that pays homage to the limestone terroir, the source of its distinctiveness and unique character”
This Pic-Saint-Loup reveals a vibrant and intensely aromatic nose, opening with notes of licorice and blackcurrant. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and expressive, supported by supple, perfectly integrated tannins. Aromas of red berries, blackberry, blackcurrant, and black olive mingle with hints of cade, before lingering into an elegantly peppery finish. A generous, harmonious, and irresistibly rich wine.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Since 1990, Château de Lascaux has been led by Jean-Benoît Cavalier, an agricultural engineer who also oversees the vast Languedoc appellation. The estate, located in Vacquières, cultivates vineyards, some of which are classified as Pic-Saint-Loup. This 45-hectare estate, which focuses primarily on Syrah, is certified organic. The estate is constantly innovating and does not hesitate to challenge itself—a guarantee of progress. It vinifies by terroir, isolating the plots planted on different soil types, including the Gravette de Corconne with its distinctive character. The new, well-designed winery has improved the precision of the wines, and the use of large containers has eliminated the need for aging processes that take a long time to integrate. You can truly enjoy the wines here, starting with the entry-level offerings. Carra 2023 is outstanding.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
Jean-Benoît Cavalier, a trained agronomist, revived the family estate in the mid-1980s, following in the footsteps of fourteen generations of winemakers on this limestone-rich terroir that his family has cultivated since 1554. This iconic figure of Pic Saint-Loup manages his vineyard (85 hectares today) using organic and biodynamic farming methods. On certain plots, sheep graze the grass between the vines, tilling the soil and providing all-natural fertilizer. A sure bet.
