Château Eugénie–Cahors

Château Eugénie is the fruit of a long line of passionate winegrowers. According to departmental archives, we find traces of winegrowers from the Couture Family in 1470, in the service of the Lord of Albas. And it is in homage to their great-great-grandmother Eugénie that the estate was named. Since then, they have perpetuated the family tradition thanks to the know-how acquired from father to son combined with modern winemaking techniques. The Cahors vineyard is extraordinary in its richness and variety, with soils of gravel, clay, silica, limestone and iron which enhance the Malbec grape variety. Planted on the terraces of the Lot valley, on the mid-slopes and on the Causse plateaus, the vines of Château Eugénie benefit from remarkable sunshine and transmit to our wines the identity of their different soils. It is therefore through their work and constant attention in the vines that they can get the best out of our different plots each year. In Cahors, Malbec is king, but it can be blended with a small part of Merlot or of Tannat depending on the vintages. This allows them to produce authentic wines, with well-defined identities. A great wine is first built with healthy grapes harvested at perfect maturity according to each grape variety and each plot. Each batch is then vinified and then aged separately in vats or barrels to enhance the unique character of each vintage. You therefore have the assurance of tasting wines that reflect the great typicity of their vineyard.
