Château Lamartine

Château Lamartine is a 32-hectare family-owned estate, planted primarily with Malbec on the terraces of the Lot Valley in southwestern France. Originally part of a vast estate dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, Château Lamartine suffered the ravages of the Middle Ages but managed to survive until the phylloxera epidemic of 1878. A few Auxerrois (Malbec) vines were nevertheless preserved by Edouard Serougne, who fell in love with the estate’s owner and this grape variety in the 1920s. As early as 1930, he inspired a handful of colleagues to found the first association dedicated to promoting Cahors wine.

Château Lamartine is a staple of the region, as the quality and consistency of its wines are universally praised at every tasting of a new vintage. Through their origins, terroir, and historic grape varieties, Château Lamartine’s various cuvées fully express the distinctive character of the Cahors vineyards. Château Lamartine’s wines are rare, expressive, and concentrated, with meticulous aging.
