About This Vineyard
Chateau Lacapelle overlooks the Lot valley, not far from Cahors. The estate has been certified organic since 2005 and creates flavorful organic wines from the Malbec and Merlot varieties. The vineyard which is located on the limestone plateau 300 meters above sea level, enjoys a different climate to the rest of the lot valley. The temperature variation between day and night is more pronounced. The grapes ripen later and produce wines with fine texture with a wonderful aromatic potential. The warm dry winds from the southwest, blow in the Fall and allow the winemakers on the plateau to wait for the full maturity of the grape without fear of the cool air coming in from the Atlantic.
