Georges Vigouroux - Pigmentum

Pigmentum is a prominent French wine brand specialising in Malbec, a legacy that spans four generations since 1887. The Vigouroux family has built its reputation on a deep commitment to this varietal, showcasing some of the finest expressions of French Malbec. Today, the winery is overseen by Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux, a fourth-generation winemaker known for his expertise and collaborations with top Argentinean winemakers, further enriching their Malbec offerings. Beyond winemaking, the family also owns the historic Château de Mercuès, a Relais & Châteaux property in Cahors, featuring a one-star Michelin restaurant that embodies the family's passion for fine wine and hospitality.

Georges Vigouroux stands out for dedication to Malbec, with a focus on innovative winemaking techniques that balance tradition with modernity. The vineyards are meticulously managed to produce high-quality grapes that reflect the unique terroir of Cahors. Bertrand-Gabriel Vigouroux combines classic French winemaking methods with insights gained from Argentinean Malbec production, resulting in wines that are both complex and expressive. Techniques such as careful grape selection, controlled fermentation, and precise ageing in oak barrels help create wines that capture the essence of French Malbec, distinguished by their rich colour, intense aromas, and refined tannins.
