About the estate:

Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998; it 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.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

A juicy, crisp wine with a broad spectrum of fresh fruit, forest floor, and spice notes. The refined yet light tannins lead into a finish enveloped in a velvety licorice note. The harmonious precision of this sulfur-free wine is commendable.

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