Our local winery

Our local winery just about 1.5 km away makes red from Merlot, rose from Tannat and Cabernet and also a moelleux (semisweet wine) from gros and Petit Manseng.

See this item about semi sweet wines in SW France

The estate of the chateau used to have vines but they were not replaced after the phylloxera came. A few small operators including the Domaine de Quissat make artisanal wines using organic methods - Biologique as the French call it.
