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 outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. The vines enjoy a north westerly position on the green hills where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves'. Vines: 20 years old - 123 acres
Winemaking
This grape variety is harvested at just the right ripeness (not
overripe).
The harvest is drained into vats, protected from the harmful effects of oxygen, and then pressed. The must from the fresh grapes is cold-settled for 6 days, then ferments slowly for 3 to 4 weeks. Fermentation stops when the wine reaches 12.5% alcohol. This naturally leaves residual sugars which,
combined with aging on fine lees, give the wine body and structure.
Tasting notes
A complex bouquet of citrus, exotic fruits, fresh apricot,
and elderflower. On the palate, it reveals both vigor, roundness, and
depth: beautifully balanced, crisp, and flavorful.
Food pairing
Serve at 8–9°C on its own as an aperitif or with a meal, pairing it with
smoked fish, foie gras, fish in sauce, Roquefort, or apricot tart.
