Château Armandière

Rich History of Château Armandière

Château Armandière has a storied past that dates back to the 18th century when Cahors wine was transported by boat to Bordeaux. Located in Port de I’Angle, this winery was pivotal for the Bouyssou family, enhancing their wine business. Today, Bernard Bouyssou, the fourth generation of his family, manages the estate. After his father, Pierre, led the winery for nearly 40 years, Bernard decided to create his own wines in the late 1990s. In 1998, he established a modern winery, focusing on the Malbec grape, the hallmark of the Cahors region, with guidance from skilled oenologists and winemakers.

Organic Practices and Quality Wines

Château Armandière is committed to sustainable viticulture, utilizing advanced agricultural techniques across its 25 hectares of vineyards. Bernard emphasizes that the unique characteristics of each wine stem from the quality of the soil and grapes. His flagship cuvée, Diamant Rouge, showcases the exceptional Malbec grape and has garnered acclaim. In addition to AOP Cahors, the winery produces a Chenin Blanc, a Malbec rosé, and a summer-aged aperitif. Each vintage reflects the distinct terroir, contributing to its unique taste and aroma. The Bouyssou family's dedication to crafting high-quality wines continues to thrive, rooted in two centuries of tradition in Parnac.
