CHÂTEAU CANTELOUP LESTAGE

When my grandmother settled in Fours in 1937, the vineyard covered just 2.8 hectares. A lot has changed since then! My parents took over in 1965, making the most of the clay-limestone soils and continuing to develop the estate. Today, our vineyard extends over 10.93 hectares. My brothers, Patrice and Cédric, joined me to carry on our grandmother’s legacy. Cédric is responsible for vineyard management and winemaking. Since the 2025 vintage, the estate has been farmed organically.
