The C\u00f4tes de Gascogne and C\u00f4tes du Condommois (PGI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The C\u00f4tes de Gascogne vineyard is made up of three main types of terroirs, each one corresponding to the historic areas defining the original areas for Armagnacs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00f4tes de Saint-Mont (V.D.Q.S) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the Gers department, is a unique appellation where Gascon wine growers create their heritage from authentic varieties. These wine growers all share \u201cthe passion for Saint Mont\u201d, a respect for the traditions of cultivation, the diversity of varieties, the maintenance of hand-picked harvesting and the protection of old plots as the plot of Sarragachies, registered as an Historical Monument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madiran (AOC) and Pacherenc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Particularly original as Madiran is an appellation that only produces reds and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, a small, little known appellation with sweet and dry whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madiran is well known because of its delicate aromatic richness. The late harvests have established the fame of sweet Pacherenc.<\/p>\n\n\n
