    Producer Profile

    Located in the south-west of France, in the Cahors region and in the heights of the Lot Valley, the Château de Rouffiac wine estate benefits from the exceptional terroir of Cahors. It is in this unique environment that we passionately produce wines in the Cahors and Côtes du Lot appellations, using a regenerative viticulture approach that sets us apart. 

    Here, the terroir is extremely rich and can reveal wines of great subtlety.
