Wine Estate & Terroir In the heart of the South-West, Madiran

Today, the vineyard extends over 58 hectares, from which we make about a dozen cuvees every year.
The vines grow throughout the appellation’s confines; owing to the wide variety of soils and terroirs, the Tannat grape can achieve its full expression.
The ocean climate and nearby Pyrenees mean winter and spring are both temperate and wet, with a warm summer and a very sunny autumn.
These climatic conditions together with the widely diverse terroirs allow us to develop wines with characteristics richly typical of the region.

Soils of rounded pebbles: Terroir Moncaup

these soils on the upper slopes are warm, filtering and well-drained, rounding the wine.

Pebbled soil: Aydie and Madiran

Gravel and quartz sand with clay make for well-drained soil, optimal for grape maturation.

Clayish-calcareous soils: Saint Lanne and Quartier de la Tyre

Clays are the fundamental structure of these soils, along with a touch of limestone. Opulent and complex wines are the result.

deep acid soil comprised of sand and clay, known locally as boulbène, in Grepp: Aydie’s lower slopes

On the lower slopes, these rich soils do not stress the vines very much Fruity and supple wines are the result, appreciated as Vin de Pays.
