Château de Pellehaut stands in Montréal-du-Gers, on the hillsides of the Ténarèze, where clay-limestone soils take over from the sands of the Bas-Armagnac.

How it is made

"Pellehaut" tire son nom de la pila romaine ou médiévale. La présence de mosaïques représentant de la vigne, à deux kilomètres, sur le site de la villa gallo romaine de Séviac, laisse présager que la vigne était déjà présente à Pellehaut au temps des romains… Le domaine s'étend aujourd'hui sur 550 hectares dont 250 hectares en vignes. C'est une exploitation agricole gérée de façon traditionnelle par deux frères Martin et Mathieu BERAUT.

Tasting notes

Palate: Warm and sweet, enhanced by spices (paprika). Full and rich, slightly salty.
