Prix du Président de la RépubliqueConcours National des Eaux-de-Vie
Médaille d'orConcours National des Eaux-de-Vie

Domaine de Pellehaut

A lovely amber-orange colour. An intense, rising nose: a very floral eau-de-vie, with notes of pine sap and warm, mellow wood. The palate is well balanced, with a gentle attack and a fine length. Harmony, delicacy and floral notes: a beautifully "feminine" eau-de-vie.

Domaine de Pellehaut

How it is made

"Pellehaut" takes its name from the Roman or medieval pila. The presence of mosaics depicting vines, two kilometres away at the Gallo-Roman villa of Séviac, suggests that the vine was already growing at Pellehaut in Roman times… The estate covers 550 hectares today, 250 of which are under vine. It is a traditional farming estate, run by two brothers, Martin and Mathieu BERAUT.
