"A powerful, full-bodied Cahors, built to age, offering exceptional value for the price"

"This impressive wine, with its rich aromas of dark fruit and powerful tannic structure, shows serious aging potential. It combines concentrated richness with notes of black coffee and spicy undertones. Best enjoyed starting in 2027." (Wine Enthusiast 2026)

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.

About the wine:

Luxurious, velvety-soft, and refreshing.

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.
