Alain Dominique Perrin, owner-wine grower, acquired the Château Lagrézette, near Cahors, in 1980; a building dating from the 15th Century, classed as an historic monument. The restoration of the building, its gardens and its vineyards took 10 years.
It is the only wine estate in the appellation to be called the “Quintessence of Cahors” by world-renowned critic, Robert Parker, who has awarded many high ratings to the Malbecs of Lagrézette. In 2005, Château Lagrézette was recognized as one of the 100 best wines in the world by Wine Spectator.
In 2003, the Château celebrated its 500th grape harvest. To mark this occasion a book was published, tracing the history of the Château, entitled “Dame Honneur, une Légende de Cahors”.
In 2005, a second work “Château Lagrézette”, a collection of recipes and photographs, was published by Editions du Regard.
Not far away, in Rocamadour, Alain Dominique Perrin planted 10 hectares of vines in 2001, thus allowing a village to see its wine reborn after the disappearance of its last vine stock in the Middle Ages.
