Chateau Lamartine, Cahors, Malbec - 75cl

Chateau Lamartine was built in 1922 on the site of a century-old oak tree. Local legend recounts that in the Middle Ages this was where Martine, the daughter of the local Baron, would meet her various suitors. As a family property that dates back to the Middle Ages, these vineyards survived the Gallo-Roman wars as well the invasion of phylloxera in 1878.

This stunning red wine gift comes beautifully presented with hand-tied bow and personalised gift message card, making it the perfect gift for any and all occasions.

A traditional and typical Cahors wine which offers a perfect match between elegant tannins and strong aromas. An excellent choice for a red wine enthusiast who is looking for a wine of quality. 

At the end of the 60’s, fifteen Cahors winemakers were involved in the AOP creation, and Chateau Lamartine was one of them. They obtained the AOP in 1971. The Château Lamartine is still very proud to belong to the appellation.

Born in the Chateau itself, the current winemaker/owner, Alain Gayraud, took over from his grandparents in 1975. Encompassing 28 hectares of vines that range in age from 20 to 120 years old, the Domaine is in the westernmost reaches of the Cahor appellation, making Chateau Lamartine the only Cahors domaine that benefits from the influence of the Atlantic. Here, the vineyards occupy the best micro-climate along the Lot River, all with southern exposure on the oldest terraces in the appellation, where the soil consists of a limestone base with a plethora of stones.
