Château de Lascaux - Pic Saint-Loup Carra rouge 2024
92/100
RVF
“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 juniper, before lingering into an elegantly peppery finish. A generous, harmonious, and irresistibly rich wine.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Château de Lascaux has been managed since 1990 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 sign 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 allowed for greater precision in 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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from 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-gravel terroir that his family has been cultivating 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.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (La Revue du Vin de France, May 2026)
About the wine:
This Syrah/Grenache/Mourvèdre blend offers a rich, full-bodied freshness. Marie and Maguelone Cavalier, who recently took over the estate, represent the fifteenth generation of the family. We’re confident they’ll make the most of this vast 85-hectare estate, whose traditional production style takes a more full-bodied approach in this cuvée.
