At Château
Famaey we are proud to be a family business where the best
of traditional winemaking is gracefully combined with a modern
infrastructure and a philosophy based on respect for nature
resulting in a wine of supreme quality at an affordable price.
Importantly, our wine is bottled on the property,
ensuring an honest product of very high quality. Furthermore,
the additives to the wine are kept to an absolute minimum,
resulting in a very natural and therefore healthy wine. Produced
without the use of chemicals, yet with modern technology,
our wine has all the characteristics which make a Cahors
wine unique.
We are two Flemish men, Luc Luyckx and Marc
Van Antwerpen, who are passionate about Cahors wine. In 2000,
we took over an existing vineyard and renamed it Château Famaey.
Immediatly after, we began to invest in everything related
to the quality of the terroir (land) and the wine. The soil
is worked with a maximum of respect for nature in order to
obtain a product as natural as possible!
The vinification is done
by Maarten Luyckx in collaboration with the best professionals of our region. The richness
of the grapes, the « terroir » and the way of producing
offers us a lot of international and national recognition in
several guides and medals. Château Famaey exports his wine
to more than 20 countries all over the world.
We are delighted to welcome visitors who wish to discover
our vineyards and taste Château Famaey straight from its cellars.
