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 across two of the appellation’s finest soil types, notably the famous third terrace. One plot features clay-limestone soil and produces wines of great finesse. The other is a soil of pebbles mixed with reddish sand, ideal for more powerful wines.

Rated estate (2025 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
For more than fifteen years, the Verhaeghe brothers—Pascal in charge of winemaking and Jean-Marc in the vineyard—and now Jules, Pascal’s son, have made Cèdre the benchmark of the appellation. It must be said that they benefit from an exceptional terroir: on the one hand, a particularly stony limestone scree cone in constant motion, the famous “tran,” which produces fine, elegant wines; on the other hand, a pebble soil over iron-rich sand, lending the wines greater power. Made from perfectly ripe, hand-selected grapes, the wines—always deeply colored—achieve a rare level of quality and consistency thanks to refined tannins and velvety textures. The Extra-Libre cuvées offer the entire range in sulfur-free versions.
