"A pure Malbec aged between concrete and ovoid vats. The ageing allows the fruit of a radiant grape to come to life: a 2023 bursting with pulpy flesh and crisp tannin in a mouth full of élan." (Le Guide RVF 2025)

Château Lamartine
Cahors
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
A classic estate in the appellation, producing solid, tannic Cahors at the price of a certain austerity in the basic wines. The Cuvée Expression, made from the best vines on the third terrace, is exemplary in its consistency.

Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2023 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
Legend has it that the boughs of a hundred-year-old oak tree once sheltered the gallant rendezvous of a beautiful Martine. In 2016, Alain Gayraud handed over the reins to his children Lise and Benjamin, who have a wealth of experience abroad, to manage this estate with its ancient origins (1883), located on the edge of the Lot-et-Garonne region. The vineyard covers 37.5 hectares, facing due south. A pillar of the Cahors appellation.

Vin noté (guide 2025) 91/100 Coup de Cœur
Rated domain (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine :
A pure Malbec aged between concrete and ovoid vats. Aging brings out the fruit of a radiant grape: a 2023 bursting with pulpy flesh and crisp tannin on a mouthful of élan.
About the domain :
The destiny of the Gayraud family estate is now in the hands of Benjamin and Lise, Alain's children. This classic estate delivers wines that are fair, balanced and true to the image of Cahors. The new generation has brought more energy and modernity to the cuvées, which focus on fruit.
