The Magnaut family estate is located in the heart of Gascony, in the Gers region. Its story began in 1975 when Pierre Terraube produced the estate's first Armagnac. Today, Jean-Marie and Cécile Terraube create wines and spirits with character, as well as lighter products perfect for sharing as an aperitif with friends. Their daughter Charlotte is also involved in the estate's activities with her own project focused on grape juice. A story to be continued!
In the Côtes de Gascogne IGP appellation, low-alcohol wines are neither a gimmick nor a passing fad. Winemakers produce wines at 9 or 10% ABV without resorting to dealcoholization techniques. Their wines are based on simplicity, authenticity, and enjoyment. A range of grape varieties allows them to create naturally balanced wines with a light alcohol content.
The Côtes de Gascogne vineyard extends across the Gers, Landes and Lot-et-Garonne.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. To consume with moderation.
