Château Lagrezette
シャトー・ラグレゼット
500 years of Malbec heritage, elevated to world-class status in Cahors.
A historic Cahors estate with roots stretching back 500 years, Château Lagrézette was revived from 1980 by Alain-Dominique Perrin, former chairman of Cartier, working with oenologist Michel Rolland to elevate Malbec to world-class status. Its landmark three-level gravity cellar, built in 1992, sits beneath a 15th-century château linked by a 150-metre underground tunnel. In December 2025, Perrin passed leadership to his daughter Sonia Perrin, who continues the estate's focus on wine, heritage, and art. Flagship wines include Château Lagrézette and Le Pigeonnier, prized for their depth, velvety tannins, and long aging potential.
