Here you are in the heart of the Cahors appellation, to discover the origin of the famous grape variety Malbec. Let yourself be guided towards rare and intense delight. The Château Haut-Monplaisir, located at Lacapelle-Cabanac opens its doors, and you are more than welcome.
People remain at the heart of our domain! Cathy, Daniel and Mathilde give their hearts and souls to make the estate live serenely, accompanied by Cécile, Abdel, Cédric and our faithful seasonal team (Emilia, Christelle…) who take care of the 30 hectares of vines.
Our vintages travel to France and around the world thanks to Mylène, Maxime, Géraud, Olivier, Stéphanie & Carol from Accents et Terroirs , our export agency, but also Laurent (aka Lolo) from the Lot department and finally Yannick and Cathy from GIE Expressions Sud-Ouest over all the rest of our dear France!
We would be delighted to welcome you to the estate for a tasting!
Fournié family and his team
To enhance the quality of our wines and to obtain the most tasteful expression of our terroirs, but also by personal conviction, we soon oriented our activity towards organic farming. First we focused on the soils by sewing cover grass between the rows of the vines.
Our vines are located on the 3rd terraces of the appellation (alt.200m). Vines are facing due south from sunrise to sunset.
Wines from our estate are a combination of powerful and fineness given by the soils mostly clayey-siliceous, with pebbles.
Expressive and complex, the Malbec get its richness in our soils and thanks to the micro-climate, is able to reach excellent ripeness. From blackcurrant, to liquorice and ripen cherries, this grape variety allows us to make black wines full of richness and suppleness.
Every single vintage, we are doing our best to improve the quality of our wines.
It is an expressive and lively wine. After opening on blackcurrant, prunes and black olive, it evolves into a richer bouquet, with notes of rosemary and cinnamon. It is the freshness that dominates the mouth, accompanied by a beautiful tannic structure, dense and fine. A pleasant sweetness, as much taste as it is aromatic, accompanies the wine on its long finish, with surprising notes of elderflower and peppermint. Still young, he will love grilled lamb chops, a squash, mushroom and Parmesan risotto … Later, he will appreciate red meat in sauce as much as refined vegetarian cuisine. Drink now or keep for a few years.
