Signature

Grand Malbec 2022 is one of the signature wines associated with Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux at Château de Haute-Serre. As the first Malbec to appear on the Place de Bordeaux, it marks a wider reach for the category while staying tied to the lineage that had been tending it since 1887. The bottle reads as continuity made visible.

In Their Words The point here is not a sudden conversion, but the way the estate remained part of the work even when it was not the main interest. Holidays and summers became practical training, and regular contact with Château Haute-Serre gave the vineyard a daily familiarity. For an artisan, that kind of repetition matters: the work is learned by returning. “I loved it and when I was 18, I said to my father, I want to work there, to live in Haute-Serre.” By 18, the relationship to the estate had settled into commitment. The line is plain: work there, live in Haute-Serre. It signals choice, but within a family context already defined by vines, seasons, and the inheritance of Cahors. The decision was to stay inside the craft rather than step away from it.
