Armagnac Reserve Château de Pellehaut

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 and are 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.

The vineyard forms the heart of this traditional farming business run by Martin and Mathieu Béraut & the brothers have maintained the balance of crops introduced by their father, Gaston, 50 years ago.

This new bottling from Pellehaut is their 10 year old Armagnac and is a light orange yellow in colour with aromas of vanilla, wood and cinnamon.

The palate is smooth with good fruit, vanilla spice and orange notes.
