Description:
Nestled in the heart of Monein's steep hills, Domaine Bellegarde is owned by the 4th generation of the Labasse family, who created the vineyard in 1926. It has a silt-clay soil with a lot of pebbles left by torrents and glaciers from the Pyrénées. The vineyard stretches over 15 hectares with a density of 3500 vines/hct and grows the two for the Jurançon characteristic grape varieties, Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng.
