This former vineyard of Eleanor d'Aquitaine now covers 450 ha is located south-east of Mont-de-Marsan and west of the Madiran vineyard, just on the borders of the Landes forest, Gascony and Bearn. The Tursan AOC stretches along the curves of the Adour river over a vast area of 36 communes in the Landes department, mainly in the cantons of Geaune and Aire-sur-l'Adour.
It is therefore a vineyard of the Pyrenean foothills, half Dutch, half Gascony but at an altitude that does not exceed 200 m. No large vineyards but a multitude of vineyard islets occupying valleys with protected and sunny southern slopes. One would think that here, the vine is jealously hidden!
Born in 1958, the Tursan appellation was only classified AOC in 2011 after 37 years of waiting. The white wines are mainly made from Baroque, a rare and typical Landes grape variety that produces pale yellow wines with pear and peach aromas, with the addition of gros manseng, petit manseng and chenin.
