the arretxea estate is inspired by the ancient and noble history of the iroulean vineyard. it draws its strength from the memories of the family tradition of loving winemakers living in great harmony with the vine and wine. located in the heart of the basque country (southern slopes of the western pyrenees), the irouléguy vineyard is located at an altitude between 200m and 400m, around saint etienne de baïgorry and saint jean pied de port, in about fifteen municipalities. it is considered, with its 240 ha, as one of the smallest mountain vineyards in france: 2/3 of the areas are located on terraces, on a slope, which imposes constraints of danger and difficulty, as well as a lot of manual work. the irouléguy vineyard obtained the appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) in 1970 and the appellation d'origine protégée (aop) in 2013. the arretxea estate grew to 12 ha with the installation of iban and teo sounds, 4.5 ha of white and 7.5 ha between rosé and red. the vineyard is located in a majestic setting of mountains, valleys, steep slopes and terraces. it is subject to a double influence, mountainous and oceanic, with mild and humid climatic conditions. the southern exposure attracts the maximum sunshine, the pyrenees mountain range protecting us from the ocean and northern winds. the irouléguy of domaine arretxea presents a fresh, greedy, supple and sapid mouth, set on supple tannins in an elegant and perfectly balanced register
