Leon Verhaeghe, from Morsleede, left his homeland in the early twentieth century and settled in the Lot. In 1958, his son Charles Verhaeghe and Maria Theresa woman establish a mixed farming and create the vineyard Cedar planting a hectare per year vine on three plots.
The Cahors vineyards slips along the meandering Lot, nestling on the terraces and semi-hillsides with poor soils of pebbles and gravel. One of the original vineyard was to keep the local grape: Malbec (Auxerre or côt), which enhances the color of wine by its rich pigments. Strong and tannic, the Cahors are good guard, but they can also be consumed young.
The Southwest vineyard deploys foothills of the Massif Central to the Pyrenees flanks on historical provinces such as the Basque Country, Rouergue, Guyenne, Béarn, Gascony and Aquitaine. The Southwest vineyards extend over the Adour Basin, Aveyron and the Basque mountains, the Toulouse country, Quercy, Agen, Albi and Bergerac. They have a moist and mild maritime climate, somewhat influenced by the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees. This climate is characterized by frosts in spring, cold winter, summer and autumn are warm. The designations differ in their micro-climates, favored by reliefs that allow the vines installation.
