A romantic faith Cahors wine remains closely attached to history and the Christian faith. A Wine of Mass of the Orthodox Church for eight centuries, the Malbec grape has been given sacred origins. The village of Roques, in its very name, is, as can the village of Rocamadour, a direct reference to the image of the Woman of Revelation protected by the rock of the river of water spewed by the dragon. A beautiful terroir The Roques and the surrounding villages benefit from some of the richest clay-limestone and ferrurginous soils on the planet, allowing a rich, fine and mineral expression at the same time.

Its color is deep with purple and dark blood tones.
