Vignobles Pelvillain

The Pelvillain Vineyards reveal a family history from the 19th century to the present day with a vineyard of 52 hectares. Producer of 100% MALBEC and IGP Côtes du Lot AOC CAHORS wines, the vineyard is spread over three estates located a few kilometres from Cahors, Albas and Prayssac: Château de Cénac, established on the south-facing clay-limestone plateau and partially covered with brown clay and ferruginous stones. The Château du Port, on the third terrace facing south at an altitude of 100 metres, is composed of clay, quartz pebbles and granitic rocks. Finally, the Théron estate, overlooking the village of Prayssac, is partly established on the plateaus composed of limestone, clay, iron oxide and pebbles which ensure excellent drainage, and partly below on the terraces comprising clay, sand, limestone and gravel.
