Daniel's specialty? Pork from Gascony and raised in the open air, thank you!

A 100% natural production which includes confits, liver pâté, blood sausages, confit sausages, gure amatxi, stuffed pork shank... The ham is the noble piece, its quality is exceptional with a softness and a subtle flavor of hazelnut, it reflects perfectly the gustatory qualities of the Gascon pig.

Alain Brumont had the merit in his early days of creating a strong image for Madiran and Tannat, the appellation's king grape variety. For over thirty years, this winemaker of undisputed stature has been developing his 280-hectare estate, with an undeniable flair for communication. The underground winery built in 1988 is the first of its kind in the South-West. With 19 different wines, including the famous Montus and Château Bouscassé, Brumont covers the whole range of the region's wines: Madiran, Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, Côtes-de-Gascogne and even chardonnay and pinot noir.

Located on a promontory surrounded by vines, Jean-Marc Laffitte's cellar stands out in the landscape just like his wine on the big tables. Here the production is ensured in family because the wine grower is accompanied by his children, Ericka and Joris. Multiple awards and laudatory articles in the specialized press have made this production famous. Three types of Madiran and two types of Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh are produced every year, with an excellent quality-price ratio for each one, which is the reason for their recognition in oenology magazines.

This family estate, handed down from generation to generation since 1902, is now in the hands of sisters Brigitte and Corinne Dousseau. They first modernized the winery, then obtained "high environmental value" certification. The reds are produced under the Madiran appellation, and the whites under the Pacherenc-du-Vic-Bilh appellation. Fans of rosé wines like to turn to Béarn rosé. Triply awarded, the Domaine received two gold medals and a silver medal at the Concours Général Agricole in 2022.

Every Friday morning, the traditional market takes place in and around the Riscle market hall, featuring local producers. Don't look for an old market hall in the central square, as in many Gers villages. Here, it's a 1950s building at the entrance to the town. You'll find a wide range of specialities from South-Western farms, fruit and vegetables, as well as a fishmonger and even a delicatessen. Small in size, but big in quality, this gourmet rendezvous sets the pace for life in the town.

In Viella, in the Madiran vineyard, the 24 hectares of vines of Château du Pouey are located on the south-facing clay-gravel slopes. The young talented winemaker Bastien Lannusse vinifies Pacherenc-du-Vic-Bilh, Madiran and Côtes de Gascogne wines. For the epicureans, we propose a unique experience in the heart of the South-West landscapes: a bike ride in the Gers countryside facing the Pyrenees, followed by a visit to the chateau's cellar and a delicious tasting of their wines, accompanied by a gourmet board.

This domain no longer counts the medals: competitions in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Mâcon and the Concours Général Agricole de Paris, the International Wine Challenge, the European Masters Competition, the Federation of Independent Winegrowers. The comments of the specialized literature join this concert of praises. A great recognition for this family property created in 1980 on 20 ha, which produces four Madiran and two Pacherenc wines. From now on, Sylvain takes up the path traced by his father, perpetuating a work of excellence.

Founded in 1850, this 25-hectare estate at the gateway to the Pyrénées Atlantiques is dedicated to sublimating the Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh appellations. It was recently taken over by two young sisters, Claire and Marion Bertolussi. They work in compliance with Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, which preserves biodiversity and limits the pressure of agricultural practices on the environment. The Bertolussi sisters offer a range of 5 wines and a wine liqueur, Tanatis, made like a port wine, but from 100% tannat grapes.

Located in the village's former priory, the Maison des Vins is a haven for wine enthusiasts. Adjacent to the Eglise Sainte-Marie, it offers weekly tastings and sales of over 80 wines. Here, discover the evolution of Madiran and Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh wines, the legacy of ten centuries of viticulture. Taste the renowned reds of Madiran and the confidential nuggets of Pacherenc. The definition of terroir takes on its full meaning here, between soil, climate and unique know-how.

Clos Fardet is the oldest winery in the village of Madiran, which gives it a little extra soul. In 1998, Pascal Savoret took over the reins of this family business. He lovingly watches over his great-grandfather's vat-press, a rarity not found elsewhere. With this manual tool from 1923, he continues to make the main part of his wine making. This is perhaps the secret of his wines, which regularly win prizes and medals in agricultural competitions. The winemaker added white to his range in 2018.

If the mushrooms are from Paris, the first farm in France to produce them organically is in Madiran! With more than 700 kilos per week, the workers of this medico-social establishment, for people with disabilities, have green thumbs! The first to have put the mushrooms of the ASEI association on his menu is the triple starred Landes chef Michel Guérard. This reassures on the excellent gustatory quality of these buttons of mould which bloom on a natural compost, without chemical fertilizers, in the cellars naturally maintained at 17°.

Located at the foot of the Pyrenees in the heart of the village, Chez Madiran is a wine cellar and concierge service that brings together 20 independent winemakers who are passionate about local grape varieties, notably the famous tannat. They also cultivate gros and petit manseng grapes for dry and sweet white wines. Vanessa, the instigator of this project, has marveled at Madiran for 12 years. She cherishes the winemakers for their differences and the stories they tell. Her mission? To help you discover their cuvée and show you what she sees.
