Château du Cedre cuvée GC 2008

Tasting notes

"Intense hue. Highly expressive nose with accents of toast, roasted coffee and black fruits in the background. Concentrated, generous palate. Full-throttle power on the attack leading into a firmer mid-palate and finish with predominant oak tannins. Still austere. "

Château du Cèdre: Excellence and Innovation in Cahors Wines

Château du Cèdre is a renowned winery located in the Cahors appellation, in the heart of South-Western France. Since its founding in 1973, the estate has become a key player in the wine industry of the Lot region, known for the exceptional quality of its red wines, primarily made from the Malbec grape variety.

History of Château du Cèdre

The estate was founded by Léon Verhaeghe, a Belgian immigrant, who settled in the Lot region in the 1950s. His son, Charles Verhaeghe, later took over the winery and began replanting vines on the rocky terroirs of Cahors. Today, the Verhaeghe brothers, Pascal and Jean-Marc, grandsons of Léon and both trained oenologists, continue the family legacy, maintaining a strong commitment to quality and innovation.
