IGP des Côtes de Gascogne

The origins of the Côtes de Gascogne PGI go back to antiquity, when the Romans planted the first vines in the region. However, it was during the Middle Ages that Gers viticulture reached its apogee, under the impetus of Benedictine monks who developed the art of winemaking and contributed to the renown of Gascony wines. Today, the Côtes de Gascogne PGI perpetuates this age-old tradition, producing authentic, generous wines that reflect a unique terroir and invaluable know-how.

The terroir of the Côtes de Gascogne PGI is remarkably diverse, offering a palette of soils and microclimates conducive to the cultivation of emblematic grape varieties such as Colombard, Gros Manseng, Sauvignon Blanc and Tannat. The clay-limestone slopes, sandy soils and limestone plateaus give the wines an incomparable aromatic richness and complexity, revealing all the typicity and authenticity of the Gers terroir.
