Château du Cèdre is a family-run estate situated in Cahors in southwestern France, owned by brothers Pascal and Jean-Marc Verhaeghe.
Château du Cèdre is widely regarded as the leading estate in Cahors, tracing its roots back to Pascal and Jean-Marc’s grandfather, Léon who left his native Flanders to settle in south-west France in the early 1900s.
