The château Lacapelle Cabanac vineyard
is situated on the chalky causse (limestone plateau) at about 300
meters altitude, and benefits from a cooler climate than that of the
Lot valley.
The grapes are
harvested at full maturity giving the wines its delicate texture with
an excellent aromatic potential.
The Autan wind, hot
and dry, that blows there until the autumn, allows the wine maker of
the causse to wait for the complete maturity of the grape without
fearing the weather precipitations coming from the Atlantic.
