Characteristics of the wine and vinification

In Gascony, place names always have a meaning. "Pad?re", which means both terroir situated" at the end of the heath" or "at the beginning of the earth" therefore has two. And that's not its only claim to fame. The ch?teau, on the edge of the Landes forest, enjoys the benefits of its ocean breezes. It is situated at the beginning of what is no longer just sand but not quite earth. In short, an ideal soil for vines.
