History of the Château de Haute-Serre
The castle of Haute-Serre has been an abandoned place since the 19th century. It was once a property that produced one of the greatest wines in France until 1880. However, thanks to Georges Vigouroux, this place has regained its former splendor. In the early 1970s, this gentleman acquired this chateau to produce wine. After two years of hard work to clear the land and plant 160,000 vines of Malbec vines and to build a winery, the castle was like new.
Today, the Château de Haute-Serre is recognized as one of the best wine estates in the south-west of France and its first vintage AOC Cahors bottled in 1976 is considered one of the first Grands Crus of Cahors.
The adventure continues for the Vigouroux family because it is now the son of Georges Vigouroux, Bertrand-Gabriel who has taken over the business and who puts all his know-how to perpetuate the family tradition and maintain the wines of the Château de Haute-Serre as one of the references of the Cahors appellation.
