They are planted along the banks and hills of the Lot River valley. As a result of its millennia of work carving through a limestone plateau, the Lot River left a narrow band of hills ideally suited to the vine. The soils vary according to their proximity to the river, with the lower terraces having more alluvial deposits and the upper vineyards having more exposed rock. The vineyards date back at least two thousand years and the wines of Cahors have an illustrious history that includes being sought after by the Roman Emperor Domitian, kings, bishops and the Russian Orthodox Church.  The Chateau La Caminade vineyards lie in Parnac, in the heart of the Cahors region. The vineyard covers a variety of soil types including gravelly sand and clay\/limestone. The Ressès family has been making wine here for four generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Commandery comes from the best parcels in the La Caminade vineyard. Typically it is from parcels of old vines growing on the “third terrace”, but the final selection is made after the fermentations have occurred. For this cuvee, the Ressès try to use exclusively Malbec although sometimes a small amount of tannat is blended for complexity. Fermentation temperature is controlled and maceration is extended to five weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36827402109081,"sku":"857072001059","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/products\/w989303090_1.jpg?v=1603393155","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/chateau-la-caminade-la-commandery-cahors-2020","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
