The estuary

GIRONDE

The journey begins on the banks of the estuary and continues along its gently sloping hillsides. The vineyards were born from a shifting tract of land which, on no less than six occasions, have given it its precious gravels from the Pyrenees. Thousands of years of glacier floods have shaped these magnificent terroirs…

Even today the estuary continues to create a milder environment on its banks and temper the harsh winters. Its expanse of ochre and sand diffuses a golden light and bathes the vine-covered valley in warmth. With its mysterious charm, the rolling landscape gives the impression of time standing still.
