THE STORY OF MERE SINGULARITY.

The story of the three parcels is quite natural. When Phillippe Lejeune took over the estate in 2007, he remembers tasting every single parcel with Stéphane Derenoncourt right before the harvest. They have quickly identified three parcels which stood out from the rest of the vineyard: so unique, each having their own identity.

It was obvious for them to do everything in order to isolate these three parcels and to be able to share this peculiarity with passionate wine lovers in the near future. It took them years to accompany each parcel before the type of wine they had in mind was produced. To achieve this precision, they have tasted samples from different vinification vats and

of various aging. Today, Château de Chambert has the best method put in place to accompany its Malbec grapes for producing single parcel selection.

According to Stéphane Derenoncourt, ''Le Puits'' cuvée was the most exceptional and distinctive of the tree single parcels."

THE SINGLE PARCEL SELECTION CONSISTS OF THREE 100% MALBEC CUVÉES - TOP FINE WINES FROM THE BEST PLOTS OF CHÂTEAU DE CHAMBERT PRACTICING ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC FARMING.

CAHORS AT ITS BEST.

"Malbec in Cahors clearly has its own identity, rooting from its versatile terroir and a long history of viticulture. In the past, there has been many rustic wines made in the region and such reputation still affects the market. In reality, there has been many exciting wines produced in the region since early this century. Chambert is proudly one of the pioneers to redefine Cahors and its Malbec, presenting what Cahors can deliver at its best: diversity and excellence. Our parcel selection cuvées come from three unique soil types, all from our best quality Malbec, made with the least intervention during winemaking and aging. We only make them in the best vintages.''

Being Philippe Lejeune's partner, Lin plays an active role in raising an awaireness of Biydinamic farming and in promoting Château de Chambert wines in France and abroad.
