Château du Pouey
Gaia
Madiran | Red | 2022
This wine is made from Tannat, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown on hillsides with varied soils, resulting in a rich aromatic profile and well-integrated tannins. The meticulous winemaking process includes cold pre-fermentation maceration and controlled fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging in cement tanks for 15 to 18 months preserves the fruity aromas while softening the tannins, thus offering a beautifully balanced structure.

Château du Pouey
Located in the Southwest, Château du Pouey is a family estate situated on south and southeast-facing slopes overlooking the Pyrenees mountain range. The vineyard now covers approximately 22 hectares, having started on a much smaller area.
The estate played a pioneering role in introducing grape varieties such as Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng to the region. The vines are cultivated using sustainable viticulture practices, with particular attention paid to preserving natural balances and ensuring consistent ripening. The soils, composed of clay and gravel, offer ideal conditions for a variety of expressions, depending on the plot and its exposure.
The wines are crafted with a focus on lusciousness and controlled richness, without striving for standardization. Vinification and aging are carried out to preserve the expression of the fruit and the typicity of the grape varieties, offering profiles ranging from supple and fruity wines to more structured cuvées.
