Producer Description

Palmers have had a long standing relationship with the Domaine De Pellehaut wines for many years and are one of the UK's largest independant shippers of their wines. Owned by the Beraut family for 300 years, Domaine De Pellehaut is managed by Brothers Mathieu and Martin Béraut. Starting out as Armagnac producers and continuing so under the name Chateau De Pellehaut producing several premium Armagnacs including the much prized and highly regarded Reserve De Gaston named after their Father. Domaine De Pellehaut produces several wines focused mainly on local grape varieties including Colombard, Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng and Tannat as well as high quality plantings of international varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. This diversity of plantings along with the Beraut Brothers skill in wine making and the art of blending has resulted in a collection of multi-award winning wines that consistently over perform, from their Harmonie De Gascogne range through to their top cuvee the Family Reserve.

Situated on the slopes surrounding Château de Pellehaut, at an elevation of over 180m, the vineyard is set in an ideal terroir with maximum exposure to the sun.Protected by the Pyrenees, the Gers region also has the advantage of relatively low rainfall in summer.

"Pellehaut" gets its name from the Roman or mediaeval word pila (meaning any kind of solid, pillar-like construction).The presence two kilometres away of mosaics decorated with vines at the Gallo-Roman site of Séviac bears witness to the fact that vines were already grown at Pellehaut in Roman times.
