Winemakers Notes

Cahors is one of France’s oldest wine producing regions, dating back to the Roman era. The
Jouffreau family has been vingerons in Cahors for several centuries. In 1971, the late Jean
Jouffreau and his wife bought Chateau du Cayrou, in addition to Clos de Gamot, which they
already owned. Jean was a traditionalist who made some of the best wines in Cahors. His
daughter and son-in-law are now in charge of the estate, carrying on his traditions.
