Domaine Chiroulet - Terres Blanches 2022
Domaine Chiroulet is located in the Gers, on the lands of Armagnac, in Gascony . It was created in 1893 and the property then covered 5 hectares dedicated to mixed farming and livestock. Alban Sourbès, winemaker and distiller experienced the dark years of phylloxera and managed the estate until 1935. The property was passed on to his niece, Suzanne Capmartin, and her husband Albert Fezas designed an extension project which did not come to fruition. because of the Second World War. It was his grandson and current owner Philippe Fezas who diversified the estate's activities. Nearing completion, the transition to organic farming reinforces a commitment that extends to the environment close to the vines, in an agroforestry project. This beneficial principle for the vine ecosystem makes it possible to relocate the biomass on the plots, to regulate the auxiliary fauna and the ambient microclimate. It is in a responsible spirit and a holistic approach that Domaine Chiroulet is operated.
Terres Blanches is a blend of Gros Manseng (55%), Sauvignon Blanc (35%) and Ugni Blanc (10%) . The vines are cultivated on soil characterized by limestone outcrops called rentzines, restoring the minerality of the Ténarèze terroir.
Grape varieties: 55% Gros Manseng, 35% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Ugni Blanc
