(2019 Vintage Notes)
fruity
crunchy
smooth tannins
Terroir Gascon is a wine with a distinct style! Fruity and slightly oaky, it has character while appealing to a wide audience. A Gascon with supple tannins, best enjoyed with a winter dish such as confit pork jowl or cassoulet. A must-try from the estate!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Philippe Fezas has been tending his vineyards since 1995, the year he took the plunge and added the role of winemaker to his position as a consultant for Seguin-Moreau. Committed to producing expressive wines sold to wine shops and fine restaurants, he takes great care in planning his vineyard layout, going against the grain of surrounding production practices. His two slopes face the Pyrenees and feature a variety of soils ranging from fine clay (the Côte d’Heux) to more calcareous soils (terres blanches).

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated wine (2022 guide) 1*Star (2019 vintage) (A very successful wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

As the heir to four generations of winemakers who have been based here since 1893, Philippe Fezas looks out from his 50-hectare estate at the small 13th-century church in the nearby hamlet of Heux. A gentle breeze known as the chiroula blows through the vineyard rows, drying the grapes that will yield exceptional flocs, Armagnacs, and Côtes de Gascogne wines. A sure bet.
