Description
The Château de Haute-Serre stands at an altitude of 300 meters at the crossroads of the Parc régional des Causses du Quercy and the Cahors appellation. Among the highest and rarest densities of the plateau, the vines draw nourishment from the unique clay-limestone siderolithic soil from the Kimmeridgian, enriched with blue clay and iron concretions. This wine has been named after Georges Vigouroux, the pioneer who saw the potential of this haven of biodiversity and brought the historic vineyard back to life in 1971.
Taste
On the palate, there's great tension and very silky tannins with aromas of prune, enhanced by the spicy notes that are the signature of Château de Haute-Serre.
Vinification

Strict control of winemaking temperatures.
Aging
