The history of Chambert is associated with the first Malbec vines in Cahors more than 2000 years ago and the first written traces of its history can be found as early as the 10th century. The estate enjoyed a very strong reputation in the 19th century and extended over almost 400 hectares of vines. The phylloxera crisis and then the wars brought the vineyard to a wild state of coppice and meadows.
It was not until 1974 that the vineyard was replanted and then brought to organic farming very early on. The Chambert vineyard covers 65 hectares on an exceptional terroir, on the high limestone slopes of Cahors at an altitude of 300 metres, 45 hectares of which are directly around the château. The vineyard is entirely located in AOC Cahors and is now certified by Ecocert in organic farming and by Demeter in biodynamics. The vines are composed of 80% Malbec, 17% Merlot and 3% Chardonnay.
Philippe Lejeune is now the owner and, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt, produces great wines with finesse and elegance.
