Chateau Latuc is situated deep in the heart of rural
Southwest France near Cahors.
Cahors wines have been favoured by kings and popes
throughout history and are very famous for their deep
colour, noble structure and ability to age.
Situated high up on the edge of the plateau to the south
of the river Lot, the vineyards are grouped round an
ancient church, said to have been constructed by the
English during the hundred years war. The limestone soils
of the south facing slopes are planted with 2 grape
varieties, the principal being Malbec for colour and
ageing with Merlot for softness and bouquet.
Modern and traditional methods of culture are used on the
wines and in the winery. The wine is made, matured and
bottled in the cellars at the chateau itself. The aim? To
produce soft fruity wines of exceptional quality!
The Meyan family, the new owners of Chateau Latuc, are
engaged in the constant pursuit of quality. In its very
first year of existence Chateau Latuc won 2 gold medals in
major competitions in France. It has been selected by both
Guide Hachette and Hugh Johnson .
