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 !
