 View cart Grande Reserve tells the story of our old vines and
our Merlot grapes grown on fine clayey soil, but old Tanat grapes also
have a say in this wine.
It is wine is the target we set ourselves every year, a wine in which
we endeavour to blend powerfulness and subtlety around a bouquet of red
fruits and spices, while always maintaining a freshness, typical of high
altitude soil: the character of Chiroulet.
With our dry white wine, Les Terres Blanches, we wanted to produce a wine
with a taste of the soil, with floral and mineral characteristics, different
from the light, lively “generic” wines of Gascony.
The fact that it is matured on the lees over 10 months, part of which
in large wooden casks, and the high proportion of Gros Manseng, a structuring
grape, give it more body in your mouth and mean it can be kept for longer.
As for our late harvest white wine, Soleil d'Automne (Autumn Sun), it
is ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to foie gras. The great
particularity of the Gros-Manseng grape is that it maintains a good acidity
potential in over-maturation, giving it character and freshness without
any "sugary heaviness".

Un rosé charnu et structuré, signé Chiroulet, issu de nos meilleures saignées de Merlot, de Cabernet Franc et de Tannat.
