history
Devoted to mixed farming and the production of Armagnac, the domaine produces today Côtes de Gascogne. Francis Dèche, the proprietor, who follows in the footsteps of five generations has a policy of quality: traditional grape varieties, vineyard cultivation with respect to the environment, and constant development in the methods and means of vinification. With his daughter Laurence, who joined him in 1999, they sell a full and varied range of wines that are just waiting to be discovered!
Vineyard
Just situated just outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. 15 years old vines on silica clay soils with areas of sandstone and sometimes gravel. Yield control and thinning out of the leaves.
Winemaking
A 10 days maceration and fermentation is carefully maintained; in order to keep the roundness and aromas of these 2 complimentary varieties.
Tasting notes
Red wine with hints of violet. Fruity nose that is lightly spicy. In the mouth, the attack is supple and balanced. The tannins are present but mellow. A very supple wine that finishes with delicious fruity notes.
