ECCT members and guests are all kindly invited to attend the second Wine Tasting Dinner at La Maison de 22 in 2015 with the theme of Exclusive taste of France: Chateau Pineraie.

Chateau Pineraie is situated in Cahors, an established winemaking area for centuries, and its dominant grape varietal is Malbec in AOC Cahors (Appellation d'Origine Controlee). As a family-owned vineyard, a latin manuscript dating from 1456 shows that the Burc family were already land owners around Cahors at that time. As the 5^th generation vigneron, Jean Luc Burc now shares the running of this 50 hectare estate near Puy-l'Eveque with his daughters Anne and Emmanuelle. They produce individual characterful wines from their various vineyard parcels which encompass all the classic terroirs of the region including the renowned terraces of the River Lot.

The estate is carefully managed according to the principles of "lutte raisonnee", namely "controlled cultivation", in considerations of sustainable land use and viticulture.
