🔸 Château du Cèdre — Cahors, the pursuit of Malbec excellence 🔸
In Cahors, Château du Cèdre tells a family story shaped by patience, conviction, and deep respect for nature.
It all began in the late 1950s, when Charles Verhaeghe, of Flemish origin, planted his first Malbec vines on limestone scree soils, near a field of lavender. A passionate self-taught winegrower, he learned the craft step by step, firmly believing in the potential of these demanding terroirs.
In 1987, his sons Pascal and Jean-Marc took over the estate. Early on, they chose organic viticulture, driven by both conviction and necessity. Chemical w**d control was abandoned as early as 1992, leading to organic certification in 2012.
Today, a new generation is at the helm of the estate. Jules Verhaeghe continues this quest for precision and balance, with Aurore Del Vitto, who oversees commercial development and estate management, by his side.
🌱 An exceptional terroir
Two distinct soil identities shape the wines:
• Le tran, a limestone scree terroir brings finesse and energy
• Pebbly, iron-rich sandy soils add depth and structure
🍷 Straightforward, precise wines
The Malbec grapes (which make up the majority of grapes on the estate) are harvested at perfect ripeness and then undergo meticulous vinification and ageing.
From Extra Libre to the flagship GC and Charly cuvées, via L’Improbable, each wine offers a contemporary, precise expression of Cahors wine.
🔁 A committed signature carried by three generations — making Château du Cèdre a historic and natural partner of Accents & Terroirs.
