Domaine de Saint Lannes
Gascony

The Estate
This family owned and operated winery has been producing wine since 1971. The estate is located near the town of Condom, in the Armagnac area of southwest France. Current owner Michel Duffour started in 1982 and was joined by his son Nicolas in 2005. They continue the traditional winemaking of the family while using new techniques such as skin contact maceration and cold stabilization.  They also make use of enologists from Bordeaux to create their cuvées. They export 80% of the total production.

The Vineyard 
 The soil is a mix of clay and limestone. The age of the vines is 20 years on average. The yield is 50 hl/ha and the production is 100,000 bottles per year.
The continental climate ensures optimum ripening of the grapes. After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. Then occurs the skin contact maceration during 12-18 hours and a cold stabilization. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
