About this producer:

Château La Caminade has been a family run estate for many generations. A place full of

history, belonging to the clergy until the French Revolution, when the monks knew how

to choose the best soils and produced the very best wines.

In 1895 Antonin Ressès inherited the estate & spent his life rebuilding & enlarging the

Domaine. In 1973, immediately after Cahors was awarded A.O.C. status (1971), Marcel

Ressès & his son Léonce took charge of the estate. The Château soon won recognition as

one of the standard setters of the appellation, being awarded numerous medals &

favorable mentions in the Hachette guide & Revue des Vins de France.

Today, Léonce & his sons, Dominique & Richard, run a domain of 35 hectares. The

family traditions, exceptional situation of the vineyards, constant care for the land & the

strictest of winemaking techniques, combine to create outstanding Cahor wines.
