“A well-balanced, juicy, and lively Chardonnay. On the nose, it offers notes of apples, spiced pears, and a hint of baking spices. Medium-bodied with lively acidity. Silky texture with delicious fruit at its core and a well-structured development. A flavorful, long finish.” (James Suckling 2025).

Bettane & Desseauve
4-Star-Rated Estate (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaegue have elevated this estate to the pinnacle of Cahors through meticulous viticulture and precise winemaking. The 27 hectares (25 of which are planted with red grapes) are divided into three plots spread across two of the appellation’s finest soil types, notably the famous third terrace. One is clay-limestone and produces wines of great finesse. The other consists of pebbles mixed with reddish sand, ideal for producing more powerful wines.

Domaine noté (guide 2027) 3*Étoiles (Ils représentent l'excellence du vignoble français. Les meilleurs terroirs exploités par les plus grands vignerons. Déguster leur vin est toujours un moment magique)
About the estate:
En reprenant la ferme de leurs parents, les frères Verhaeghe ont commencé à écrire une autre histoire du vin de Cahors. Aujourd'hui, c'est à Jules, le fils de Pascal, accompagné d'Aurore Del Vito, sa compagne, d'inventer l'avenir et de hisser Le Cèdre au sommet de l'appellation Cahors. Leur terroir exceptionnel explique en partie cette réussite : d'un côté, le "tran", cônes d'éboulis calcaires en perpétuel mouvement, donne des vins d'une grande finesse, de l'autre, un sol de galets sur sables ferrugineux, apportant puissance et profondeur. Les raisins, vendangés à parfaite maturité, offrent des cuvées d'une régularité et d'une intensité rare. La gamme Extra Libre, sans soufre ajouté s'inscrit dans une démarche naturelle, les autres cuvées n'en recevant qu'à la mise.

Rated Estate (2025 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
A lovely way to get around the fact that Cahors can only be a red wine, this Vin de France Chardonnay from the Cahors region is creamy and ripe. Tropical fruit flavors and balanced acidity result in a rich wine that will be ready to drink starting in 2025.
