Wine estates Ayzieu

Faced with the excellence they represent today, it is difficult to imagine that the wines of the Laffitte brothers are still very young. A dazzling arrival, greeted by the greatest specialists and awarded several times: gold and silver medals across the entire range at Gilbert&Gaillard, gold at Best Wine in Box for the Petit Gascoûn dry white, silver and bronze at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris... The medals are raining but Christophe and Sébastien keep their heads on their shoulders and their feet in the vineyard. The estate has existed since the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the oldest archives dating back to 1400, and was first intended for Armagnac, but on the highest hills of Ayzieu, the terroir was ideal for offering minerality, freshness and power to the wines. The two brothers worked on the regional grape varieties to bring them to the peak of their expression. Colombard, large and small manseng, sauvignon blanc and gris, chardonnay for the whites, cabernet franc, malbec and marselan for the reds are traditionally grown on 120 ha. They are available in three ranges focused on freshness, pleasure and conviviality. The last of the ranges, Domaine de Plaisance is available in white, rosé and soft that will perfectly accompany beautiful summer evenings. Let us not forget the armagnacs distilled in a traditional still and confined to aging in 400-litre rooms.
