PORTRAIT OF THE WINEMAKER:

Valérie Courrèges, a talented and experienced oenologist from Provence, embarked on a bold journey to find the perfect location to establish her winery and bring her creative vision to life. In 2019, her search led her to the southwest of France, to the renowned Cahors region, where she discovered a true treasure—an 11-hectare vineyard surrounded by ancient stone walls, with more than a century of history. This unique plot, planted in 1913 by local owners, marked the beginning of Valérie’s winemaking journey.

With a passion for quality and deep respect for the land, Valérie soon expanded her holdings, acquiring another 11 hectares of vineyards in the highlands of the Cahors appellation. She now manages 22 hectares of old vines that thrive in a unique terroir, with an ideal balance of clay and Jurassic limestone. These soils impart a subtle mineral touch and distinctive character to the wines. The vines, which are 50-65 years old, were planted using the traditional sélection massale method, preserving genetic diversity and resilience, which are highly valued in the Cahors region.

Guided by biodynamic principles, Valérie began transitioning her vineyards to biodynamic farming, aiming not only for exceptional wine quality but also for harmony with nature. She obtained Demeter certification, confirming her commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. Valérie drew inspiration from wine legends such as Lalou Bize-Leroy, Jean-François Ganevat, and Olivier Horiot, whose focus on sustainability and respect for tradition shaped her own approach. Her winemaking philosophy is centered on minimal intervention—Valérie allows the terroir to speak for itself, creating authentic wines that reflect the region’s rich history.

Today, Valérie Courrèges’ winery stands as a living testament to her dedication and vision—a place where old vines coexist harmoniously with nature, and the wines produced reflect the exceptional terroir of the Cahors region. It is not only a tribute to the past but also a promise to preserve this invaluable heritage for future generations.
