Gourmet products local specialties and wines Duravel

Château Cantelauze-Mezy is a vineyard located in Duravel, in the Lot region. With its twelve hectares of Malbec and Merlot vines, it produces an elegant wine from an exceptional Cahors terroir. Owner Marcel Mezy applies a specific fertilization method to enhance the Cantelauze terroir. The estate is also committed to the fight against global warming. As well as visiting the estate, you can taste and buy Château Cantelauze-Mezy wines.

For 5 generations, the property has offered AOC Cahors wines. Today, the family offers Clos du Chêne, Mr Malbec, and Péché du Clos. We love Mr Malbec which expresses the historical grape variety, the black malbec. Very good value for money for this nectar from a 35 year old vineyard, thinned out by hand: a deep color and fleshy tannins to discover! The red and white tasting ends with the winemaker's aperitif, made with grape juice and brandy "le ratafia du clos".

Built and restored on the former site of a hunting lodge that belonged to Richard the Lionheart, this is a nice historical introduction. Organic farming since 2010 and its ECOCERT certification, the production is of a constant quality ensuring many awards in the profession. Its wines of great aromatic complexity will delight the most discerning wine lovers. Ghislaine and Gérard are passionate about oenology. A domain that deserves special attention.

In their lovingly restored winery, Véronique and Stéphane Azémar market three cuvées of one wine, the fruit of a balance between soil, plant, climate and environment, and hand-harvest their 7 hectares of 90% Malbec, the emblematic grape variety of AOC Cahors. Here, the wines mature in vats, ceramic jars and oak barrels, and are suitable for ageing. Concerned with quality and the environment, the estate has been organically farmed for over twenty years, and the team uses traditional methods to preserve the soil.
