The Wine

'90% Malbec, 5% Merlot and 5% Tannat from certified organic estate vineyards. 100% de-stemmed and fermented for 30 days with daily punch-downs for the first few days. Malolactic conversion occurs in barrel and the wine is matured for 20 months in foudres and 25% new French oak barrels. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur.

92 Pts Roger Voss, wineenthusiast.com 'this wine has become a classic of Cahors. With its blend of 90% Malbec and small quantities of Merlot and Tannat, the wine's toast and licorice aromas go well with the ripe tannins and juicy black-plum fruits. It is a fine, stylish wine that will be ready from 2026.'

About the Wine Maker

Château du Cèdre is widely regarded as the leading estate in Cahors. Brothers Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe, both qualified oenologists, can trace its history back to their grandfather Léon who left his native Flanders to settle in south-west France in the early 1900s. In due course Léon’s son Charles and his wife Marie-Thérèse started a mixed farm in 1958 and began planting one hectare of vines in three different plots every year.

Today, Château du Cèdre comprises 27ha of vineyards planted at 4000-5500 vines per hectare on some of the most prized terroirs in Cahors, most notably the famous troisième terrasses. In keeping with the long history of Cahors, 90% of the vineyard is planted to Malbec (known locally as both Cot and Auxerrois), with 5% Merlot (now known to be a half-sibling of Malbec) and 5% Tannat. There is also 1ha of Viognier and a little of the Bordeaux whites, Sémillon, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc.

After a disastrous hail storm in 1995, the brothers decided to re-evaluate their mode of operation in the vineyard, with a goal of bringing to an end the long term use of synthetic chemicals that had plagued the entire world of wine for 50 years (and had directly contributed to the untimely death of the brothers’ father Charles). By 2002 they had eliminated all chemicals from the estate and by 2012 Château du Cèdre was certified organic.
