Château de Haute-Serre, in the south of the Causses du Quercy Regional Park, has a rich history of winegrowing dating back to the Middle Ages. Owned by the abbey of Lagarde Dieu and then acquired by the Dadine family in the 16th century, it has long been a symbol of local nobility. Géron Dadine, a hero of the time, is said to have saved the Holy Headdress of Jesus, thus reinforcing the château's identity.

After the scourge of phylloxera, the vineyard fell into oblivion until Georges Vigouroux revived production in 1971, breathing new life into this exceptional terroir. Today, his son Bertrand-Gabriel continues this tradition, seeking to reveal the finesse and power of Malbec, the symbol of Cahors.

Château de Haute-Serre, a flagship of the Cahors appellation, boasts an exceptional terroir, inherited from unique geological formations, including Kimmeridgian soils, siderolite concretions and blue clay. Situated at an altitude of 300 metres, it benefits from an ideal exposure and a climate conducive to the production of racy, atypical Malbecs.

This vineyard, rich in biodiversity, preserves its ecosystem through sustainable practices such as enrichment with olive trees and truffle oaks, as well as HVE 3 certification. Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux is committed to reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining the fertility of its plots, honouring a precious eco-pastoral heritage.

Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux strives to bring out the virtuosity of the Château de Haute-Serre terroir, producing Malbecs of remarkable finesse, with a unique aromatic profile and silky tannins. Thanks to high-density cultivation, he plants 6,060 vines per hectare, limiting production to 1 kilo of grapes per vine to obtain a ripe, well-balanced grape. This approach redefines French Malbec, giving it a disruptive intensity and finesse.

The estate has a vinification vat and ageing cellar optimised for precision viticulture, incorporating both traditional barrels and amphorae to refine the balance of the great vintages.
