Check availability Official websiteThe château's main restaurant curates a gourmet seasonal menu that shifts with available produce and ingredients from local suppliers in the Occitanie region. This approach ensures each visit features different dishes and flavors depending on the time of year. The menu celebrates what the surrounding countryside and suppliers can provide at any given moment rather than maintaining a fixed offering.
Each dish on the menu is created to complement the château's signature Malbec wines, which are emblematic of the Cahors wine appellation. The Malbecs from the estate's vineyards are noted for their velvety character. This deliberate pairing strategy transforms the meal into an exploration of how the region's wines interact with its cuisine—an experience connected to the local concept of Malbec 'art de vivre,' the Occitan way of life centered on enjoying wine, food, and countryside.
