Pouey (Castle of)
A 24-hectare wine estate located in Viella in the Gers, 45 minutes from Pau, Tarbes and Mont de Marsan, Château du Pouey has been cultivating vines for 4 generations. In 2012, the estate will experience a new boom under the leadership of Bastien Lannusse.
"Passionate about vines and wine, he gradually built an ideal vineyard which he leads in sustainable viticulture, and since 2020 in conversion to Organic Agriculture. »
The vineyard extends over 2 types of soil, clay-loam-gravelly soils facing south-east and clay soils with pebbles facing south, and benefits from a perfect climate. Just enough sun, rain and freshness to pamper the vines and allow a rich aromatic, complex and seductive palette to blossom at optimum maturity. This makes it possible to obtain wines in its own image: straightforward, authentic and generous.
The Château du Pouey offers you a breathtaking panoramic view. Overlooking the vineyard, the Gers countryside as far as the eye can see and the Pyrenees chain on the horizon make it a place conducive to temperament and plenitude.

What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
