The ever-innovative Emmanuel Rybinski is one of Cahor's up-and-coming young stars. The 14-hectare vineyard is located atop an iron-rich plateau on the southern border of the Cahors appellation and produces predominantly Malbec, with 10% of the vines dedicated to Merlot. Since its inception in 1987, respect for the land has been a priority for this family estate, and they are passionately committed to sustainable farming practices. In 2014, Clos Troteligotte was certified in organic agriculture, and 2015 saw the beginning of biodynamic viticulture. Passionate and dynamic, they produce outstanding, stylishly packaged Cahors wines from their unique terroir. Pronounced with a French K "ka", their flagship wine, K-Or, is a play on words for Cahors. 

The vineyard is cultivated organically and biodynamically; part is already certified, and the younger parcels are being converted. The 25-year-old vines are trained according to the simple Guyot method, with de-budding and a green harvest during the year to attain a yield of 50 hectolitres per hectare. The soil is calcareous-clay-siderolithic, a red clay soil composed of limestone rich in iron, a rarity in Cahors. This unique terroir imparts minerality and complexity to this outstanding wine.
