Château La Caminade is a family-owned Cahors estate in Parnac, along the Lot, owned by the Ressès family since 1895 and now managed and made by fourth-generation winemaker Dominique Ressès. The domaine focuses on Malbec, producing traditional Cahors AOP wines alongside lighter IGP Côtes du Lot cuvées in its Oléti collection and more innovative expressions, including no-added-sulfur wines. Its vineyards lie on the Lot’s terraces and clay-siliceous soils, with an emphasis on older vines and traditional savoir-faire. Certified HVE, the estate uses natural fertilisation, no herbicides, limited treatments, and biodiversity-focused practices such as green harvesting. The wines are described as authentic, full-flavoured expressions of the region.
