The Château du Cèdre is one of the most renowned domaines in the Cahors appellation. The adventure began in 1958, when Charles Verhaeghe started to plant vines on a mixed-crop holding. His two sons, Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe then took the reins, Pascal taking care of the vinification and Jean-Marc of the vines. The 27-hectare vineyard boasts a magnificent terroir and is planted with 90% Malbec. The wines from this domaine are of excellent quality and consistency. The two brothers also recently took over some vines in Roussillon.

Le Cèdre has an intense colour, with hints of coffee and sloe in the nose, as well as the minty notes that are so characteristic of Cahors wines. On the palate, the cuvée has superb volume and body; it is neither fined nor filtered. This concentrated, complex wine is made for laying down, and will pair perfectly with red meat in sauce.
