  • Domaine de Mirail, Lectoure

    The quality of the Mirail land has been recognised since the end of the 15th century when a vineyard was already planted there at the time. 5 centuries later, the property was reborn thanks to the efforts of Charles Hochman and his son Charles-Antoine who decided to re-establish the 30 hectares of abandoned vines.

  • Château Arton, Lectoure

    If the Domaine d’Arton bears witness to a history of terroir, it also tells the story of an authentic Gascon family since the 11th century. Come and meet Patrick de Montal and Victoire de Montesquiou, the hosts and owners of the domain, and discover their art of living.

  • Domaine d'Embidoure, Réjaumont

    Nathalie and Sandrine continue the work of two generations. They welcome individuals and groups all year round from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and on weekends by appointment. They have a shop in the centre of Fleurance.

  • Le Domaine Chiroulet, Larroque-sur-l’Osse

    In the heart of the Gers since 1893. One of the best vineyards of the region. A judicious marriage of grape varieties generate wines happily combining character and refinement. The reds are joined by whites for the benefit of vintages of rare expressiveness.
