Two grape varieties :


malbecThe malbec.
Little used outside of the Lot valley, the malbec confers its typicity: a dark robe decorated with purple nuances, evolving then with the passing of the years towards a garnet red typical of cahors wines. The palate is dense with powerful tannins enabling excellent ageing capacity.

The aromas of the malbec : black fruits with heady violet overtones subtly evoking a note of  liquorice  before evolving towards autumnal flavours


merlotThe merlot
Grape variety king of the Saint-émilion and the Pomerol, it also flounshes in the Lot valley where it produces wines rich in fruit, fleshy and opulent.

At château Lacapelle Cabanac where it represents 14% of the grape varieties, we use it to enrich the aromatic palette of our wines and to procure mellowness
