Château du Cèdre
Château du Cèdre's 3 vineyard plots are planted on the two best soil types in the Cahors appellation. The largest parcel, 12.5 hectares, faces south-west, and is situated on a cone of ever-shifting limestone scree. The soil, very stony clay-limestone, is called "Tran". It plays a very important thermal and hygrometric role, and the wines produced on this soil have very fine tannins and are particularly straight and long. The other two plots (5.5 and 7.5 hectares, facing south) are composed predominantly of pebbles, mixed with reddish ferruginous sand on the surface and clay and silica at depth. Wines here are more powerful and higher in alcohol. Malbec is a low-productivity, labor-intensive grape variety that thrives on poor soils. Planted on the great terroirs of Quercy, it produces floral, fruity wines with aromas of violets, red fruit, black fruit and blackberry, with plenty of flesh and length. As for Château du Cèdre's Viognier, it has all the qualities required by the terroir to produce a natural wine: it withstands high summer temperatures contrasted by cool nights.

Château du Cèdre - Cahors 2022
92/100 Wine Enthusiast
"This wine has become a Cahors classic. Composed of 90% Malbec and small quantities of Merlot and Tannat, its aromas of toast and licorice go well with ripe tannins and juicy black plum fruit. This is a fine, elegant wine that will be ready from 2026." (Wine Enthusiast 2024)
Château du Cèdre - Héritage 2023
91/100 James Suckling
This 100% Chardonnay, with its pretty pale yellow color and golden highlights, offers notes of lemon, white flowers and toast on the nose. Ample and well-balanced on the palate, with lemony, white peach aromas and a salivating finish.

1*Étoile Hachette
"Vines between 50 and 60 years old for this cuvée, vinified in new, open 500L barrels, with its floral fragrance, deep, sensual, dense palate and a mouthfeel that draws both limestone and clay on a dynamic favored by the absence of sulfur before bottling." (Le Guide RVF 2024). A very fine Cahors for ageing, ideal with a fine game terrine... - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).
Les Affiches & Pascal et Jules Verhaeghe - Cahors 2019
This wine is complexity in simplicity. Small red berries bring greedy, charming aromas, followed by spices, violets, very soft tannins... and above all: freshness! A wine to enjoy as an aperitif around a platter of cochonnailles, or with carnivorous cuisine, from summer barbecues to Grandma's roast. There's an old adage: any occasion is a good occasion!
Château du Cèdre - Cahors Héritage 2020
3.3/5 (3 reviews)
88/100 Wine Enthusiast
Intense and flattering, the nose of Héritage 2020 presents notes of blackcurrant, violet and spices. Tense, the palate is marked by straightforward, clear acidity. This cuvée will be appreciated with a fine red meat...
Château du Cèdre 2011
4/5 (1 review)
A new vintage, the 2010 was rated: RVF 15.5/20
This 100% Viognier white is a rarity in the Lot! An exception born of Pascal Verhaeghe's love of white wines. Here, he delivers a surprising cuvée, both for its finesse and rich aromatic palette, and for the magic the winemaker has brought to its creation... Not to be missed!
Château du Cèdre 1996
4/5 (6 reviews)
Note : RVF **** "...splendid and of superior concentration".
The cellars of Château du Cèdre are overflowing with hidden treasures, deliberately forgotten only to be reborn a few years later in top form. Here, for the occasion - and it's a privilege - is a very great vintage from the end of the last century: 1996 ! 90% Malbec, 10% Merlot share the blend of this cuvée ready, not to say perfect, for tasting...
