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 soils and the grapes’ ripeness, and each cuvée reflects this commitment to quality. The range continues to gain in precision: even the classic wines offer Malbecs that are refined, elegant, and full of energy.
