Michel Bettane, one of the most respected French wine journalists, considers that Cahors wines are among the best values because their prices are lower than they should be and their quality now very high.

Among the many wines he tasted for the French magazine L'Amateur de Cigares, he recommends Château Lagrezette, Château du Cèdre, Château Lamartine, Château Les Rigalets, Château de Grézels, Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve, Château Haut-Monplaisir, Domaine d'Un Jour, Château Ponzac, Clos Triguedina and Primo Palatum.
