An old barn in Béarn, which had housed the castle's riders in the 19th century, has found a new vocation since the products of the vine have appeared here for a handful of years. Once on this vineyard property, which disappeared in the 1990s, the owners decided to rent old parcels of vines, almost everywhere in the region they worked in the former henhouse... In 2007, the latter proved too small to receive the 170 hl of production, so it was the barn that took over and transformed into a cellar, where the wine was produced according to traditional methods: no air conditioning, no huge tanks equipped with temperature regulation but only small tanks, 225-litre Bordeaux and Burgundian barrels of 228 litres and 600-litre half nights. From here come out local wines, Comté Tolosan and vins de pays des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, 12 different wines with a production of 25 000 to 30 000 bottles, 90% of which are sold on the estate. A real challenge on 100 m².
