Tell us about your field
THE DOMAINE DE LA HAILLE is located in the heart of Gascony on the border of Landes and Lot et Garonne.
Since 1937, the year Louis Lapeyre purchased his first vines, three generations have succeeded one another. Today, in the purest tradition, we raise our wines and Armagnacs on the family estate, combining modern techniques, respect for our terroir and the know-how of the Elders.
What sets your Flocs apart?
The Flocs from Domaine de la Haille are made from Gros Manseng, Colombard and Sauvignon for the whites, and from Merlot and Cabernet Franc for the rosés.
The grapes are picked very ripe, giving us rich, fresh and very fruity Flocs, with notes of red fruits: often cherries for the rosé, white flower fruits and almond for the white.
Where can you find your Floc?
You can obtain our Flocs directly from the Domaine, or for sale online at www.lahaille.com. A merchant site with free shipping from €125 will be online on 05/01/2024.
If you are in the Gers, here are the shops where you will find Flocs from the Domaine de la Haille: Les Fleurons de Samatan, Frais d’Ici Auch, L’Isle Jourdain, cellar chez Lucien in Auch, L’Alamboutic in Montreal and Fourcès, Château de Lavardens, Montreal Tourist Office, Accent du Sud-Ouest in Gondrin, Aqui’cho in Auch, Chai Ben in Miélan, l’Estanguette grocery store in Estang…
And of course during my trade shows in: Lyon, Rouen, Lille, Paris, Strasbourg…and Open Days organized at different winegrowers in Alsace, Côtes du Rhône, Bordeaux, Champagne…
Do you organize visits to the estate?
We do tastings in our shop which is open every day from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays by appointment. To visit the estate, meet on the last weekend of June with the doors open in the presence of other winegrowers.
