Domaine de Pepouy

Located in Mauleon d’Armagnac in the heart of the Bas Armagnac region of Southwest France, Pepouy (AKA Papolle) was established in the 17th century by the Piffard Familly, who are still keepers of this beautiful estate. Now managed by Frederic Piffard, the domaine is surrounded by forests and lakes, which mitigate the humid effect of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, Pepouy’s 52 hectares of sustainable vineyards are used for the production of world class Armagnac as well as still wines bottled under the Cotes de Gascogne IGP. The fine, brown-tinged, siliceous soil, known as boulbenes is typical of the area and is also found in the Entre-deux-Mers zone of Bordeaux. This soil gives excellent lift and freshness to the wines of the area.
