Wines and spirits Tarn-Et-Garonne

The "Coteaux du Quercy" production area extends over 400 hectares from the south of Cahors to the north of Montauban, on either side of the Lot and Tarn-et-Garonne departments. Every year, the Coteaux du Quercy wine festival brings together winegrowers, producers of regional products, craftsmen... It is an unparalleled opportunity to discover these diverse and varied local wines, from the cellars of passionate producers who are rigorous in their work in the vineyards.

As early as 1957, a few winegrowers with insufficient cellar facilities decided to create the Cave Coopérative de Saint-Sardos. In 1960, they established a standard vineyard in order to limit planting to the best noble grape varieties on the best terroirs. The vineyard took off and the winemakers obtained their first Appellation d'Origine Simple. Motivated and encouraged by this result, this management team formed the Saint-Sardos local wine producers' union in 1974.

The Domaine is made up of 50 ha, of which 8 ha are vines (the rest is cereals). These 8 ha of vines are entirely worked by hand: Thierry, Dominique and Lucas favour a reasoned approach to viticulture. The grape varieties are numerous and the wine is matured on site for an incomparable result. To buy their products or to visit the estate, don't hesitate to come and talk to this friendly team.

The main mission of Vinoe-Tech is to promote the know-how of the producers by collaborating with the winegrowers and pooling the skills of each, guarantees of quality, typicity and security that any wine lover has the right to expect. The range of products they offer is therefore the result of a rigorous selection from their partners: nectar from Brulhois, Cahors, Fronton and elsewhere. The team organises oenology courses to discover the grape varieties, divided into 14 sessions. Initiations aimed at lovers of taste.

The story of Quercy des îles begins at the beginning of the 21st century on the heights of the town of Moissac. Edouard Bourreau discovered the golden pearl, the famous fruit of the Quercy region: the Chasselas of Moissac and gave birth to Quercy des îles. Its components give it a unique and refined taste. This blend, aged for eighteen months in oak barrels, smells of sunshine and cheerfulness for the aperitif. You can visit the cellars in Montaigu-de-Quercy run by the new owner Mathieu Albugues and of course stock up on this delicious beverage.
