Domaine Les Roques de Cana

The estate Les Roques de Cana is located on the clayey-limestone and ferruginous soils of the Causse de Saint-Vincent Rive d'Olt, a village dedicated to the patron saint of winegrowers. Aged 30 years on average, the vines draw their minerality from a clayey, calcareous and ferriguous soil, and benefit from a south-facing exposure. A thinning out of the leaves on the rising sun side allows them to fully ripen their bunches while remaining protected from the burning sun on the afternoons at the end of ripening. The Roques de Cana terroir is characterised by a clay and limestone soil which, depending on the parcels, combines red and yellow clays with flowering soil. This allows the rootlets to give a great minerality and an extraordinary freshness to the different wines of the Domaine. Finally, there are ferruginous plants in large but very balanced quantities, which allows the development of spice aromas which, while being very present, never outweigh an opulent and quite unique fruit in the "Cahors" Appellation.

Our story

After a few years of work, I wanted to come back to my childhood region to make my dream come true. To make a wine, a great wine, my wine. For this reason, I, along with many other wine enthusiasts, took over a wine estate in the "Cahors" appellation. Being a winegrower is the possibility of being able to convey a message through our wines. Year after year, we want to reflect this terroir and its particularities in our vintages, while yields and maturity are controlled by de-stemming in spring and harvesting twice in green in summer. Today, the estate is the symbol of this quest for excellence.
