Jancis Robinson
"A wine that pays homage to the limestone terroir, the source of its distinctiveness and unique character"
“On the nose, aromas of ripe plum, rose, and raspberry. An explosion of fresh, ripe, and fragrant black fruits. A hint of coffee beans. The tannins evoke the sensation of diving into a deep pool of calm, warm water. A silky, creamy texture. A fresh finish with notes of chocolate, mint, and aromatic herbs. A pure delight.” (Jancis Robinson 2026)

Rated estate (2026 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, 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 never hesitates to challenge itself—a hallmark of progress. It vinifies by terroir, isolating the plots planted on different soil types, including the Gravette de Corconne, which imparts such distinctive characteristics. The new, very 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, an agronomist by training, 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 (now 85 hectares) using organic and biodynamic farming methods. On certain plots, sheep graze among 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, expansive 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 winemaking style takes a fuller, more luscious approach in this cuvée.
