Château de Haute-Serre

About the Winery

Château de Haute-Serre is a historic Cahors estate that was abandoned since the 19th century until Georges Vigouroux acquired it in the early 1970s. After two years of clearing the land and planting 160,000 Malbec vines, the château was reborn. Today, it is recognized as one of the finest wine estates in South West France, with its 1976 vintage considered one of the first great Crus of Cahors. The estate sits at 300 meters altitude on the Causse plateau between the Parc Regional des Causses du Quercy and Cahors, with 60 hectares of high-density vines on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil enriched with blue clay and iron concretions. The adventure continues with Georges' son, Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux, who has taken over and perpetuates the family tradition. The estate is certified biodynamic, organic, and HVE Level 3, with a strong commitment to biodiversity through olive trees, truffle oaks, and barley fields integrated into the vineyard.

“A historic Cahors estate reborn through the Vigouroux family, producing exceptional Malbec wines from 60 hectares at 300m altitude on unique Kimmeridgian soils.”
