1Surface Area
         6 hectares.

2The Malbec
         This is the king and original type of vine of the Cahors appellation. It endows the wine with a very deep color with violet hues. It provides a good structure in the mouth and consequently has a great aging potential. The aromas that are found are those of the violet and blackberries or even licorice. It represents 70% of our grape varieties.

3The Merlot
         At the Domain of Lancement, we appreciate it for its roundness and the aromas that it gives our wines. It represents 30% of our grape varieties.

4Climate
         The vineyards are located about 200 m above sea level and 10km from the Lot river. The daily temperature variation is thus more pronounced, increasing the aromatic potential of wines. They are under the influence of an oceanic climate but the southerly wind, also very present, allows for very beautiful months of September and October. Moreover, the distance from the ocean makes it so that the winters can be cold and the summers hot and dry, during which storms are sometimes violent.

5The Soil
         The vines are planted on argilo-calcareous soils that are very draining. The hydric stress is a factor limiting yields.
