Our story Les Vignobles Saint-Didier Parnac is the latest venture of Bordeaux born Hervé Joyaux Fabre, who, having been in Argentina since 1990 wanted to find a new project back in France, the home of Malbec. In 2017 Hervé and his wife Diane along with friends and associates, purchased an estate in Cahors, having been impressed by the diversity of its terroirs, the export opportunities and how Malbec had developed and evolved. Both Hervé and Diane were completely mesmerized by the beautiful landscapes, the delicious food and the amazing kindness of the locals and vineyard owners. Since their first encounter with the Prieuré de Cénac, Hervé and Diane have discovered a terroir with amazing potential which has been deemed exceptional by all the winegrowers of Cahors.
Our vineyards FRANCE Our vineyards are located in the Cahors region, near the town of Parnac. We have two distinct landscapes, the first is a high limestone plateau with steep slopes – the Cause. This plateau rises from 250 to 350 metres above sea level, our highest vineyards are at the Priory of Cénac, which is near 300 metres. In the case of Cahors, the bedrock of the plateau dates from the Jurassic period, which is 150 million years old made up of marine formation, unlike the valley, which comes from a fluvial formation. CAHORS The other area is in the in the valley. Here the terroir was created by the Lot river which has been flowing for 15 million years and depositing alluvium across its many meanders as it travels through the valley.
