History of Château Lastours
Located between Albi, Toulouse, and Montauban, Château Lastours is a former family estate in the heart of the Gaillac appellation. Archives dating back to 1579 already attest to the presence of the Faramond family on the estate, reflecting a long-standing winemaking tradition.
Near the Tarn River, the vineyard now extends over 60 hectares surrounding the property. Heir to the region’s rich winegrowing history shaped in particular by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Saint-Michel of Gaillac and the Counts of Toulouse, the estate benefits from gravelly and siliceous soils that bring balance and finesse to wines of elegant complexity.
Today, Louis de Faramond, the latest generation of this family lineage, continues this family adventure alongside a young and dynamic team, with the ambition of combining tradition, modernity, and conviviality in this historic place.

The Estate’s Wines
Whether you enjoy red, white, rosé, sparkling, or sweet wines, the Château Lastours vineyard offers something to satisfy every taste.
Louis de Faramond continues the family legacy by cultivating historic grape varieties from the region, such as Braucol, Loin-de-l’Œil, Mauzac, and Duras. He also grows southern grape varieties such as Syrah and Sauvignon, which are particularly well suited to the estate’s gravelly soils.
Each year, the art of winemaking and blending lies in finding the right balance between these grape varieties in order to create harmonious wines that remain true to the style and identity of Château Lastours.
