About the estate:

Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, which has been certified organic since 2012. As self-taught winemakers, they sought advice from neighboring vintners. They learned quickly and effectively, as evidenced by the regular selections featured in these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

About the wine:

At the entry level, Les Cadettes is a juicy, indulgent Syrah, characterized by pleasant tannins with a refined texture achieved through gentle extraction.

About the estate:

Since 1998, Cathy and Daniel Fournié have been running this family-owned estate, joined in 2015 by their daughter Mathilde. With guidance from Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe (Château du Cèdre), they showcase the third terraces of the Lot region. Their approach respects both the soil and the grapes’ ripeness, and each vintage reflects this commitment to quality. The range continues to gain in precision: even the classics offer Malbecs that are supple, elegant, and full of energy.
