Domaine Chiroulet - Terroir Gascon 2020
1*Étoile
Hachette
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 cheek or cassoulet. A must-try from the estate!

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 carefully plans his vineyard layout, taking a different approach from neighboring producers. His two slopes face the Pyrenees and feature a variety of soils ranging from fine clay (the Côte d’Heux) to more calcareous soils (white soils).

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by 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, the chiroula, blows through the rows of vines, drying the grapes that will yield flocs, Armagnacs, and Côtes de Gascogne of exceptional quality. A sure bet.
