The Château de Caïx, property of the Danish royal family, has a history that goes back to the 15th century in the meanders of the Lot. Its vineyard is planted on 24 ha and benefits from a choice location. The store allows you to taste the wines. You can visit the park of the castle as well as its two museums, one dedicated to the first art, the other to the Asian art. These are the collections of Prince Henrik: Asian jades, African statues and masks, Inuit works. All the collections can be discovered in the vaulted cellars of the castle.

25 hectares of AOC vines at an altitude of 135 metres, the château was taken over by the son, Jérôme Souques. He runs his AOC Cahors vineyards with the know-how of his ancestors. The reception of this wine storehouse, dating back three generations, is unique. With its malbec, a little tannat and merlot, the château produces a rosé and three reds. An exceptional Cahors wine to discover absolutely! Mention for the 100 % malbec born on clay-limestone soils. A well-balanced showcase Cahors that deserves a visit. Wines are often mentioned.

In the heart of the Cahors appellation, on the slopes of Luzech, Château Fages is a family property that has been in operation since 1660, when the Bel family planted their first vineyard on the land. The family produces 3 cuvées : Armonia (70% malbec, 30% merlot); Terres d'Albanie (90% malbec, 10% merlot), aged 12 months in oak barrels, cuvée VIth generation (100% malbec), aged 18 months in oak barrels. On the 12 hectares of clay-limestone with controlled yields, malbec and merlot give birth to full-bodied wines, rich in aromas and with long ageing potential.

Château les Croisille was born from an abandoned juniper soil, an old ruined building and the passion of a family that gave it its name, reviving the abandoned cellars of the property in 1984. The estate went organic in 2010, and now covers more than 20 hectares of the magnificent terroir of Fages as well as the second and third terraces of Luzech. The Croisille family welcomes visitors to the cellar to talk about the passion that drives them and to let you taste the range of wines from the estate. Among the best wines of the South West.
